Arsenal legend Ian Wright is in total awe of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes under the management of Ruben Amorim, praising the star player’s incredible impact at Old Trafford.

This past Sunday, United suffered another disappointing defeat, losing 2-0 to West Ham at home. Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen were the ones who sealed the deal, leaving United fans reeling from the loss.

After this defeat, Manchester United dropped to 16th place, just a point above 17th-place Tottenham, reflecting a tough season where they’ve already lost a staggering 17 times in the Premier League alone.

In what has been a woeful campaign, United are winless in their last five league matches, managing only 10 wins out of 36 fixtures.

Bruno Fernandes: The Bright Spot at Old Trafford

Despite the grim situation, Ian Wright remains a staunch admirer of Fernandes, who has continued to shine as a pivotal figure for the team. Since Amorim took charge last November, the Portuguese star has racked up 19 goals and 19 assists across all competitions.

Wright, reflecting on Fernandes' talent, would have loved to see him don the Arsenal jersey. On a recent episode of The Overlap, he expressed, "I wish we had Bruno. I would love to have him at Arsenal." This illustrates just how highly he holds Fernandes in esteem.

Fernandes Stays Positive Amid Challenges

After the disappointing match against West Ham, Fernandes spoke to MUTV, emphasizing that the squad remains focused and ready for their final fixtures. He stated, "Everyone has been training very hard, very well. Everyone is prepared to play at any moment, and that’s the mindset we have going forward."

Even as the club navigates a challenging season, Fernandes’ resilience and leadership are shining brightly, proving that even in tough times, talent can still lead the charge.
