Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes downplayed the significance of Manchester City’s recent struggles ahead of their derby showdown, insisting that United must concentrate on resolving their own issues rather than getting distracted by City’s dip in form.
Old Trafford will be watching eagerly as new recruit Ruben Amorim makes his debut in the fierce local rivalry, carrying with him the momentum of a remarkable 4-1 victory over City during his time with Sporting Lisbon – one of the seven losses Guardiola’s men have faced amid a stretch of only one win in ten matches.
However, Fernandes is clear about prioritising his team’s performance, stating: “It doesn’t change anything for us, how they are in this moment, because we have to think about ourselves.”
The Portuguese maestro underscored the importance of the derby and dismissed the notion of playing City at an opportune time: “We all know that this is a huge game and they have huge players. They’re probably not winning as much as everyone would expect them to do. “
