Amorim Praises Bruno Fernandes After Hat-Trick Against Real Sociedad
Manchester United midfielder Ruben Amorim has praised captain Bruno Fernandes for his outstanding performance in their UEFA Europa League win over Real Sociedad on Thursday. Amorim described Fernandes as a major threat, especially when he’s close to the opponent’s box.
Fernandes delivered a brilliant display in the Europa League Round of 16 second leg, scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 win at Old Trafford. The victory secured United’s place in the Europa League quarter finals with a 5-2 aggregate win. United will now face French side Lyon in the next round.
After the match, Amorim shared his thoughts on Fernandes’ versatility and determination. He said Fernandes is highly competitive and always eager to win, even to the point of being too intense at times.
“He’s the kind of player who can switch positions easily and still deliver,” Amorim said. “He can take set-pieces, score penalties, press high, and control the game’s flow late on.”
Amorim added that Fernandes’ ability to play as a No.8, No.10, or even No.6 gives the team more flexibility. He stated how dangerous Fernandes becomes near the box, with his ability to both score and create chances.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
