Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expecting a positive reaction from the team this Saturday against Manchester City and is counting on Bruno Fernandes to give the team a boost following the elimination of the Champions League on Wednesday. The Portuguese international received the award for the best player in the Premier League yesterday in November, which may help.
It should be noted that it was the third time that Bruno Fernandes won the award, being the first United player to do so since … Cristiano Ronaldo. The club’s website asked Solskjaer if he is still surprised by the quality of the midfielder hired by Sporting in January.
“It is no longer surprising, because the more we get to know him, the more we learn about his motivation, desire, hunger to win and the influence this has on others. The impact he has had on the team has been fantastic. But I also know that he will say that the team is made for him, that his teammates help him. He is not the man with the seven instruments ”, analyzed the technician.
Will Bruno Fernandes be at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo? With a level of influence that can transform others? Solskjaer admits it, but one thing is still missing: trophies. “Yes, of course we can see the impact he had, but when you look at his career here, you want to see trophies with the team, not individual awards. I am sure you will agree with me and exchange those distinctions. [como jogador do mês] for a title. For that we are working this season and we hope to do better than last season, when we were close, “he added.
Manchester United are now preparing to host City, an emotional game for them, but it is also the last game to take place at Old Trafford with an audience in March. Solskjaer is one of the few coaches with more wins than losses against Pepe Guardiola.
“We miss the fans so much. Those games [os dérbis] stay in memory. It won’t be me against Pep, it’s his 11 players against my 11, I don’t think of it that way. We know that we will face a great team, which is playing very well now, perhaps the best team of the last three years in England, “he assessed.
