JAKARTA - Manchester United will face Aston Villa in the Premier League continued, Sunday, November 6, 2022. The visitors are confirmed to play without Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese player was forced to miss because he had collected five yellow cards this season. That means he has to undergo a yellow card accumulation sanction.
This is the first time the Red Devils have appeared without Bruno Fernandes in the 2022/2023 season. The 28-year-old has always been a mainstay in the United midfield.
Former Lisbon Sporting players have played 12 games in the Premier League with the Red Devils and contributed two goals and one assist in a total of 1,080 minutes of play.
MU manager, Erik ten Hag said his team would adapt without Bruno Fernandes when his team traveled to Villa Park Stadium.
"We know we have to be able to replace Bruno, it's clear. We have to see how to replace him, and we've been thinking about that. I had one night to think about that," Ten Hag was quoted as saying on the club's official website via Antara, Saturday, November 5.
The man from the Netherlands has several options to replace Bruno. There is Donny van de Beek who continues to struggle to get a place in the Red Devils' midfield.
In the match against Real Sociedad in the final match of the Europa League group stage, Van de Beek played from the first minute in midfield with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
Apart from Van de Beek, Ten Hag can also play Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen or Marcus Rashford where Bruno left the match against Aston Villa later.
