Manchester United fans are expressing concern over the fitness of Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder was seen limping off during Ruben Amorim’s commanding 4-0 victory against Everton.
The injury scare has come at a particularly inopportune moment, with United preparing for a crucial trip to the Emirates in just three days. Supporters now anxiously await updates on Fernandes’s condition, hoping the team’s playmaker will recover in time for the high-stakes showdown.
This potential setback adds to the pressure on Erik ten Hag’s squad, already navigating a demanding schedule and striving to maintain momentum in their Premier League campaign.
Bruno Fernandes limped off in the 66th minute of Manchester United’s 4-0 win over Everton, after assisting goals for Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. Replaced by Alejandro Garnacho, Fernandes was later seen with an ice pack on his ankle, raising concerns about his availability for Wednesday’s crucial clash against second-placed Arsenal.
The victory lifted United into the top half of the table, but the sight of their star playmaker in pain overshadowed the triumph.
Bruno Fernandes joined his teammates post-match to thank fans after Manchester United’s 4-0 victory in Ruben Amorim’s Premier League debut. Despite leaving with an ice pack on his ankle, he had already helped secure the win with two assists before his exit alongside Casemiro.
Fans are now anxiously debating his fitness for the midweek clash against Arsenal. Some voiced concerns, calling it a stroke of luck for their rivals, while others remained optimistic, pointing to Fernandes’s resilience and history of rarely missing games.
All eyes are on updates as the countdown to United’s trip to North London continues.
Manchester United will be without Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez for their midweek trip to Arsenal after both received suspensions during the 4-0 win over Everton.
Mainoo, making his first start under Ruben Amorim, was sent off in the 49th minute for a foul on Dwight McNeil near the penalty area. The young midfielder had previously featured as a substitute against Ipswich Town and Bodo/Glimt.
Lisandro Martinez will also miss the match after picking up a yellow card for pulling back Beto moments later. The absences leave United’s squad stretched as they prepare to face an in-form Arsenal side.
Manchester United supporters have voiced outrage over rising ticket prices, now reaching £66 for a game at Old Trafford.
Fans criticized co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, highlighting the removal of discounts for children and seniors, which has further fueled frustration. The protests mirror similar discontent seen at Anfield, where fans demonstrated before Manchester City’s match on Sunday.
The price increase has added tension to a club already under scrutiny for its on-field challenges and management decisions.
