Fernandes suffers hamstring injury
Manchester United are experiencing a major setback as midfielder Bruno Fernandes will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury.
The Portugal international incurred the injury during the first half of the match against Aston Villa away from home, and he continued to play until halftime. However, he was replaced at the interval, and manager Ruben Amorim has revealed that the club captain will be unavailable for an extended period. He mentioned: “It is soft tissue so it is going to take a while”. This news is a significant hurdle for the Manchester club, which is engaged in a challenging competition to secure a place in European football for the 2026/27 season. The team is currently absent from European tournaments this season, and a similar injury issue could hinder their ability to attract desired signings next summer. At present, United trail fourth-placed Chelsea by a mere three points, yet the absence of Fernandes creates a substantial gap in their offensive contributions.
