Bruno Fernandes Proves His Words To Be More Contributing To Manchester United

JAKARTA - After Erik ten Hag was fired, Manchester United looked crazy. They crushed Leicester City 5-2 in the 2024/2025 Carabao Cup Fourth Round at Old Trafford, Thursday, October 31, 2024, early morning WIB.

The Red Devils captain, Bruno Fernandes, became one of the most important players in the win.

He contributed two spectacular goals, one from a straight free kick and the other snatched the opposing goalkeeper before shaking Leicester's net.

This brace proves the words of Bruno Fernandes when interviewed at the international break in mid-October 2024.

At that time when he came home to defend the Portugal national team, Fernandes said the Manchester United situation in the dressing room was not good and full of pressure.

He is also determined to contribute more to Manchester United after returning from international duties.

Now, his words have been proven. Midfielder for 30 years finally broke eggs in terms of scoring goals for the team.

Before breaking into Leicester's two goals, Fernandes had not contributed a goal at all in Manchester United's 13 matches in all competitions.

No wonder, this slick appearance received appreciation from the interim manager, Rudd van Nistelrooy.

"This is the first time for him (scoring goals) after so long. I am very happy for him."

"He scored two goals, with a good finish in the second half," Van Nistelrooy said of his captain at ESPN.

Even though he has just scored a goal, it does not mean that Bruno Fernandes has minimal contribution for Manchester United. He has already packed five assists in all competitions.
