Manchester United have embarked on a new era under the guidance of Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese manager has heavily rotated his team to avoid the injuries that hindered Erik ten Hag’s second season at the club.
The Red Devils are set to face Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow at Molineux.
Although it’s difficult to predict Amorim’s starting line-up, Bruno Fernandes appears to be a guaranteed inclusion.
Fernandes is the only United player to have started every match under Amorim, with all other players having been benched at least once.
The Portuguese playmaker has been exceptional for United since he arrived in 2020.
He flourished under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was subsequently handed the captain’s armband by Ten Hag.
Fernandes is continuing to impress Amorim, highlighting his big influence on the pitch.
He has bagged two goals and three assists in nine games under the Portuguese manager.
The playmaker has featured as one of the number 10s and has also been deployed at the base of midfield.
When playing in the latter role, Fernandes helps to dictate play from deep. Amorim relies on him to quickly switch the play and create chances.
Mason Mount is a good back-up but struggles to stay fit.
The over-reliance on Fernandes is evident, but Amorim won’t be concerned as long as he continues to deliver.
Expectations will be high once again for Fernandes tomorrow, especially with Wolves looking to make another statement following their dominant 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday.
