Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has expressed his support for Sporting CP boss Rúben Amorim amid ongoing speculation linking the Portuguese manager to the Old Trafford job.
In a statement that has stirred conversation among fans and pundits, Fernandes said:
“I do think Rúben Amorim is the right man for us. I don’t think what happened this season shows exactly what he is as a manager. I do think he’s the right manager for the future of this club.”
While Manchester United’s managerial situation remains uncertain, Fernandes’ comments appear to signal confidence in Amorim’s tactical approach and long-term vision.
Amorim, who recently led Sporting CP to another strong domestic campaign, is highly regarded for his modern playing style and development of young talent.
With pressure mounting on current manager Erik ten Hag, the backing from a key player like Fernandes may add weight to the growing calls for a fresh direction at the club.
