Bruno Fernandes once again proved his worth to Manchester United, netting a hat trick to propel his team into the Europa League quarterfinals.
The Portuguese performance in the 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad reinforced his importance, with manager Ruben Amorim emphasizing the need for the club to support their captain in achieving collective success.
Fernandes’ Influence Continues to Grow
Fernandes has been a driving force for United, contributing directly to 11 of the club’s last 13 goals. His two penalties and a well-taken strike sealed a dominant win, setting up a mouth-watering quarterfinal clash against Lyon.
Amorim, who has transformed United’s style of play since his arrival, acknowledged the Portuguese playmaker’s immense passion and leadership.
“We know that sometimes he is frustrated.
We know he wants to win so badly, so when things are not going well, he is changing position, going after the ball. Sometimes he needs to trust his teammates, but when we need him, he is always there.”

Amorim’s comments underscore Fernandes’ unwavering commitment to the club. The 29-year-old has been a beacon of consistency, contributing in both attack and defense. His leadership on the pitch has been instrumental in United’s recent resurgence.
“He can bring the ball forward, he can score goals, he can defend. He is a perfect captain for our team, and we need to help him win titles.”
With United striving to end their trophy drought, Amorim’s remarks serve as a call to action. Success in the Europa League could be a turning point for Fernandes and the squad.
A Positive Week for Manchester United
Beyond Fernandes’ heroics, it has been a week of optimism for the club. A 1-1 draw against Arsenal demonstrated resilience, while the announcement of plans for a new 100,000-capacity stadium signals ambition for the future.
United’s convincing performance against Real Sociedad reflects the growing confidence within the squad. Amorim credited their belief and adaptability, referencing the Arsenal game as a turning point in their mindset.
“During the week, we showed that we are ready for this kind of game. Our exhibition against Arsenal was not beautiful, but it helped us believe. Since the first minute, we continued to believe we could go to the next stage.”
Can Fernandes Lead United to Glory?
With United still in contention for a trophy and a Champions League spot, Fernandes’ form will be crucial.
Amorim’s words highlight a broader need for the club to rally around their captain. If United can maintain this momentum, Fernandes might finally lift silverware as the leader of a rejuvenated Red Devils squad.
Manchester United’s future looks promising under Amorim, but consistent backing for Fernandes is essential.
His leadership and ability are undeniable, but trophies define legacies. With the right support, he could guide United back to the pinnacle of European football.
