Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim feels the club would not be in their current mess if they had more players like Bruno Fernandes.<\/b><\/p>\n

The United captain led from the front in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted the Portuguese was “too clever for us and the referee” for the way he manipulated the positioning of his first-half free-kick to give him a better chance to put United in front.<\/p>\n

The ball was measured as being 11.2yards away from the wall after the match, rather than the 10 yards the rules state it should be.<\/p>\n

Ex-Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given told BBC Match of the Day: “It was really good execution, but yes the wall was too far back. <\/p>\n

“Maybe the referee just miscounted it, but it gives Bruno that advantage. With the ball being 11 yards away, Bruno can hit it with more pace.”<\/p>\n

Former United skipper Roy Keane might not be a fan of Fernandes given the manner in which the Irishman spoke of Fernandes on The Overlap podcast last week.<\/p>\n

But Amorim wishes he had a few more like him.<\/p>\n

“We need more Brunos, that is clear,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It’s not just the quality and the character. He makes some mistakes but he is so decisive with and without the ball.<\/p>\n

“He steps up all the time. He can show some frustration in some moments that can hurt him more than everyone. I understand that. He wants to win. <\/p>\n

“But he is always available, can play in different positions and when we need a goal and an assist he is always there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fernandes is now United’s top Premier League goalscorer this season with seven. His 12 in all competitions also puts him at the head of United’s scoring charts.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t end there.<\/p>\n

In a United side that is 14th in the table, Fernandes has 14 goal involvements in the league. Unsurprisingly, that is more than anyone else. <\/p>\n

But only Amad has more than Marcus Rashford’s five, which underlines how important the 30-year-old has been in keeping United away from getting in real trouble at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n

Since he made his United debut in February 2020, only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (177) and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min (124) have been involved in more goals than Fernandes (109).<\/p>\n

It is clear Amorim needs Fernandes in the short and medium term as he looks to improve results, while at the same time making United a more attractive team to watch.<\/p>\n

The home side had 31.8% possession against Arsenal, continuing a theme that has continued since Jose Mourinho’s time at the club where their best results are achieved when they play on the counter-attack.<\/p>\n

On a day when United fans protested in huge numbers against the club’s ownership, Amorim is desperate to change that.<\/p>\n

“When you coach Manchester United, you cannot play too much like that,” he told Sky Sports. “You have to try to win the game.<\/p>\n

“This club will never die. That is clear. This is a big business and maybe all the fans in this league sometimes feel it us harder to go to the games and pay for tickets.<\/p>\n

“We want to give them a lot of effort. In the future, we will not play like that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
