Man Utd Vs Roma, Fernandes's Big Way To Present First Trophy For Red Devils
JAKARTA - Bruno Fernandes has not presented a single trophy to Manchester United. However, he got the opportunity to do so when the Red Devils host Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final which takes place on Friday night.
Before this, United had failed to get past the semifinals four times in various competitions, but Fernandes said that MU was getting better.
"I feel there is progress but I think the team has progressed since the coach (Ole Gunnar Solksjaer) arrived. He's trying to do everything for the team and keep it getting better," Fernandes said on MU's official website.
On the same occasion, Fernandes also admitted that he would be delighted to be able to coach United one day after his playing career ended.
Fernandes, 26, who has performed brilliantly since joining from Sporting Lisbon last year for a fee of 55 million euros, has provided 24 goals and 14 assists in all competitions this season.
And the Portugal national team player insisted he wanted to become a coach after hanging up his boots and Manchester United was the team he wanted to train.
"I'm trying to enjoy football, you know, I think I want to be a coach," he told MU's website. "To be honest I want to be a coach. I don't know which team I want to train."
"Of course the biggest team, if I can train, is Manchester United, I will be happy," continued Fernandes.
"I think I have to stay in football because my whole life is about football."
