US EditionCaptain Fernandes Cannot Wait to Return From Injury, Amorim Says
Bruno Fernandes is eager to return from a soft-tissue injury but will miss the Wolves match as Manchester United adapts tactics due to multiple absences, manager says.
- On Tuesday, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said captain Bruno Fernandes is pushing to return but will not play against Wolves at Old Trafford, joking Fernandes might even want his job.
- Fernandes sustained a soft-tissue injury at Aston Villa eight days before Boxing Day and was withdrawn at half-time, then watched the 1-0 Boxing Day win from the Old Trafford stands.
- Facing multiple absences, Amorim altered his preferred system, switching to a back four against Newcastle as Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt were sidelined.
- Despite being sidelined, Fernandes has remained involved in training and continues to lead vocally, Ruben Amorim said, highlighting his influence on the United squad even off the pitch.
- Adapting to absences, Amorim said he resisted abandoning his favoured five but accepted a back four due to absentees and expects to revert when players return.
