JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) coach Erik Ten Hag remains relaxed and doesn't bother even though Bruno Fernandes is absent from the match against Aston Villa. Ten Hag said he had time to think about his successor. Manchester United are scheduled to meet Aston Villa in the 15th week of the 2022/2023 Premier League at Villa Park Stadium. In Sunday, November 6 at 21.00 WIB, MU was without strength from Bruno Fernandes. But in the match later, Fernandes has to undergo a one-match suspension in the Premier League. That's because the midfielder got his fifth yellow card this season when Manchester United won 1-0 over West Ham United last week. "We know that we have to replace Bruno (Fernandes), that's pretty clear," said Ten Hag, in a press conference ahead of the match. "But I am calm because I have one night to think about it," Ten Hag added. Ten Hag realized that Bruno Fernandes' role was vital for the team. Since defending Manchester United in January 2020, Bruno Fernandes has immediately become an important figure in midfield. Winning in traffic, passing accuracy, and scoring goals have made the Portugal national team player often a scourge for the opposing team. This season alone Fernandes has scored two goals and two assists from 17 matches in all competitions. Even though he has to go through a match without Fernandes, Ten Hag will still be thorough in finding a replacement. Because the decision will have a big impact on the course of the match tonight. "We have to see how we replace it, and we have to think about it, and it will be very important to shore up the game," said Ten Hag.
