Bruno Fernandes had an excellent performance with two assists for Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. This achievement took his total number of assists in the Premier League to 46, making Fernandes the Portuguese player with the most assists in the history of the competition, surpassing Bernardo Silva.
Although Manchester United had a convincing victory that helped them climb to ninth place in the rankings, and at the same time just four points behind the top four, Fernandes' mid-match departure raised concerns about his health. The 30-year-old midfielder was seen with an ice pack on his ankle, causing concern for manager Ruben Amorim. More importantly, Manchester United face Arsenal in a tough game in just three days.
The upcoming clash with Arsenal will see the team missing Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo through suspension, adding to the pressure on Manchester United. Arsenal are currently second in the table and have been in impressive form following a 5-2 win over West Ham.
Despite concerns over Fernandes' injury, fans can be reassured that the player joined his teammates after the match to thank the crowd at Old Trafford. This suggests that Fernandes' injury may not be as serious as initially thought.
With Bruno Fernandes being a key creative force in Manchester United's play, any news regarding his health is vital for the team as they push for a Champions League spot. Positive signals from Fernandes could bring hope to the team ahead of the upcoming difficult match.
