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.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
