Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has expressed his optimism about the arrival of new head coach Ruben Amorim, hoping he can “change the energy” at the club.
The Portuguese star praised Amorim’s ability to support struggling players and his successful track record at Sporting – but has warned he cannot just copy what he did in Portugal at United because of the differences between the players at his disposal and the two leagues.
Despite not being able to start coaching until his work visa is confirmed, Amorim’s impressive stint at Sporting, where he secured two titles in four seasons, gives Fernandes hope for the future.
Speaking to MUTV, Fernandes said: “Sometimes a person can change the energy of a space, if it’s the right moment. We hope that he can come and this is the right moment for him to come and bring his energy, bring his qualities and his knowledge of football, because he’s done something really, really special at Sporting.
“If someone doubts that, it’s about just looking at the past. Sporting was to be about 20 years without winning the league and he got back to win the league, and he won it two times in four years with a really youthful team, in a moment of change.
