Ruben Amorim left full praise for Bruno Fernandes in the preview of the meeting between Manchester United and Wolverhampton, for the Premier League, highlighting the importance of the captain even outside the four lines, at a stage in which the red devils continue to be heavily affected by absences. Asked about the role of Bruno Fernandes, unavailable for the game with the wolvesthe Portuguese coach was clear about the midfielder's impact on the team's daily life: «He can't be that guy who isn't playing and isn't talking. He's always talking. That's why he's the captain. He has bad things sometimes, the way he moves his arms, but he has a lot of good things and he is always living the game, training, everything.” «Whenever he recovers from the game, he's the guy who goes to watch the others train that day. There are many things that you do not see, but that he does. He is a great leader», he stressed. On a clinical level, Amorim confirmed that the scenario remains complicated for the reception to Wolverhampton. “I don't know how Mason Mount will be for that game. I think Kobbie Mainoo won't be ready, Bruno won't be ready, Matthijs de Ligt won't be ready and Harry Maguire won't be ready", he listed, ruling out the possibility of immediate returns, but leaving open the Portuguese's presence in the next game, against Leeds: "I hope Bruno returns... he was already saying that he needs to train." The United coach also addressed the topic of signings, admitting that, this time, the process has gone better. «Sometimes you need a little luck. In every decision we make we need to reach a consensus. This is important, because you shouldn't do everything according to the coach, because the coach can change. We do all the assessments of how they live, how they train, their characteristics. I think we did well, but they have more to give.” Finally, the coach spoke about the recent tactical changes - from the traditional 3x4x3 to the 4x2x3x1 against Newcastle - and the team's collective evolution. «It's a process. We are trying to build an identity. Today is a different time. We don't have many players, we need to adapt, but they already know why we are changing", said Amorim, making it clear that the changes are not external reactions: "It's not because of pressure from the press or the fans, it's because we now understand the way we want to play. The principles are the same; we can change the system. I think we will become a better team.”
