Bruno Fernandes is “the perfect captain,” says Amorim

Bruno Fernandes is a “perfect captain” for Manchester United, says manager Ruben Amorim after the midfielder hit a hat-trick in the Europa League win against Real Sociedad.

Fernandes kept a cold to score a couple of penalties after Real Sociedad opened scoring, before scoring the third goal after being replaced by Jon Aramburu sent to visitors.

Diogo Dalot completed a win that provides a welcome impetus and established a quarterfinals against Lyon.

“When we need it, he’s always there,” he told Amorim.

Bruno Fernandes now has the most participation in the history of the Europa League, with 41 (24 goals, 17 assists) 👏

“In sets, he can change his position, he can bring the ball forward, can score goals, can score transitions, as he has shown today in the last 10 minutes of play.

“It can defend itself so that it is the perfect captain for our team and we have to help him win the titles, because he deserves a lot.”

The winged back Patrick Dorga was praised after the sports saying the judge that the late challenge of Hamari Trara was not a video on it because the decision was abolished.

Asked if he liked Dorgu’s sports management, I am laughing at her, “It depends. It’s right to do, so I’m pretty proud of him … but it depends.

“I can’t say if it’s 0-0 or we lose, I have the same answer, so he did well, he made a great performance. He perfected himself during the game.

“He learns a lot in this position. He has physicality, obviously he is able to play in our league, so it was a good game and a good Dorgua action.”

As United, head coach La Real Imanol Alguacil, is coming back to Spanish anger with Benoit Bastien’s judge.

“We didn’t deserve such a court appearance,” he said. “But he neither connected it, nor is this stadium.”
