Amid speculation that Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes could become the club’s full-time captain, the Portuguese midfielder, who has set an example on the training ground, has called for an extra final session.
The 28-year-old Fernandes has quickly established himself as one of United’s most influential players after joining the club in January 2020, having had a great season under Eric ten Haag. , When Harry Maguire was absent, he often wore a captain mark.
With serious doubts about Maguire’s long-term future at the club, some have even recommended that the playmaker take on the role full-time.
Ten Haag had already hinted that Fernandez would be the natural successor as captain if Maguire leaves Old Trafford this summer, as expected.
McCarthy then detailed Fernandez’s positive impact on the training ground, highlighting how the midfielder’s participation in additional training has impacted his teammates.
McCarthy said of the 947 Joburg: Do these specific drills that strikers like. Sometimes I go into the match without touching the ball too much, but if I have a chance, I should pass it. So not the most complex training, just the simple ones that forwards face in 7 out of 10 games.
“The more stable you are, the easier the match will be.” Bruno was the one who said he wanted to stay behind. After a while it started to build up and half the team, midfielders and even defenders came to the final practice because it was fun and exciting.
“We had a lot of replays and we were able to play matches, so every day we had to come out with a winner. That’s how we hired everyone.” ) chases him.
Fernandes is one of several Manchester United players to return to the Manchester squad after a disappointing 2021/22 campaign for United. It was the best after working with Ten Hag this season.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Maguire, who started his career at Old Trafford and is now the fifth contender, falling behind Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw.
Ten Haag have expressed reservations about the former Leicester player’s future, but United are believed to be ready to sell Maguire this summer. The club’s captain made just 16 Premier League appearances last season, making just eight starts.
