Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident that his captain Bruno Fernandes will bounce back from his recent poor form. Fernandes has struggled to make an impact this season, failing to score and only providing one assist in the team’s first five Premier League matches. In the last two games against Crystal Palace and FC Twente, Fernandes lost possession multiple times and received criticism for his performances. Despite calls for him to be dropped from the starting lineup, Ten Hag plans to stick by him.
Ten Hag believes that Fernandes has already proven himself in the Premier League and has the ability to create chances and score goals. He is convinced that it’s just a matter of time before Fernandes regains his form. However, Manchester United as a whole have been struggling to find the back of the net this season, scoring only five goals in the Premier League so far.
Acknowledging this issue, Ten Hag admitted that scoring goals is their main problem as a team. He remains optimistic that they will overcome these difficulties and have a successful season. The manager also mentioned their focus on signing young players like Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Leny Yoro who they believe in for both present and future success.
Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday, Ten Hag expects an intense game with both teams playing attacking football. He acknowledges Tottenham’s strengths but also believes there are opportunities for Manchester United if they perform at a high level.
while Bruno Fernandes’ recent performances have been underwhelming, Erik ten Hag remains confident in his abilities and believes he will soon rediscover his form. Manchester United as a team are working towards improving their goal-scoring record and remain determined to achieve success this season despite relying on young players.
