“I hope that Mister Ruben can do the same here as he did at Sporting”

Bruno Fernandes praises the coach’s work at Sporting

Bruno Fernandes celebrated Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as Manchester United interim manager with “a goal and a half” in the 3-0 win over Leicester , but there is one unavoidable topic: the arrival of Rúben Amorim.

Will Amorim arrive excited? “Of course, we are all excited, it is a time of transition. I have already spoken about Mister Ruben, he is a coach who has done great things for Sporting, he has completely changed the club, along with the structure, completely changed the dynamics, and put the club back where it deserves to be. I hope he can do the same here, and that together we can follow the same path he did at Sporting,” he told DAZN.

250 games with great performance: «It’s always an important milestone, I’ve always wanted to play for this club, there are a lot of games and it could have been 15 more, I missed 15 games (laughs), reaching that milestone in such an important club is special and being able to crown it with a goal in a great victory, even better.»

A goal and a half [the second was attributed to an own goal]: «I actually told the Premier League people that they gave me more interviews than goals, they could have given me the goal. Some people say it was going wide, I know I touched it, but there was a deflection, but the most important thing is that it goes in, I’m happy with the result, that was the most important thing. Because we’re not in the position we want, but we’re on our way, which took a while to get off to the best start, but it’s getting better.»
