CurrentReport Blog Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has embraced a vital leadership role under new manager Ruben Amorim, pledging to help his teammates quickly adapt to the coach’s tactical system.
Speaking on Wednesday, Fernandes outlined his approach to bridging the gap between Amorim’s instructions and their execution on the pitch. “I’m really aware of what we do in training. I try to absorb everything from every position,” said Fernandes.
The Portuguese midfielder emphasized the importance of his role as a communicator during games, especially in high-pressure situations where instructions from the bench may not reach the players.
“As the captain, you have to solve situations together with your teammates. Knowing the movements, the pressure, and what the manager wants is part of my role,” Fernandes explained.
Amorim’s Tactical Vision
Ruben Amorim, who recently took over as Manchester United manager, has already set high expectations for the team. After United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich in his first match in charge, Amorim warned that the squad would “suffer” while adapting to his system.
Despite the challenges, Fernandes is optimistic about the process. “I try to help speed it up by being a coach on the pitch,” he said, reflecting his commitment to guiding the team through the tactical transition.
Manchester United’s Road Ahead
Manchester United faces a critical phase as they look to implement Amorim’s high-pressing, possession-based style of play. With Bruno Fernandes leading from the front, the team is hopeful of overcoming initial struggles and achieving success under their new manager.
