Man Utd Captain Bruno Fernandes Urges Teammates to Step Up for Upcoming Season

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who recently won the club's Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for a record-equaling fourth time, has called on his teammates Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund to step up next season and take the spotlight away from him. Fernandes emphasized that if these forwards improve not only in scoring and assisting but also in defensive efforts like tackling and tracking back, they should be the focus of future accolades, which would make him the happiest as he aims to help his teammates and strengthen the team. Despite a challenging Premier League campaign, Fernandes has been the club's standout player with impressive goal and assist tallies, but he expressed frustration that such high-level performances are rare outside of key matches. With the club finishing 16th in the league, their worst campaign in decades, Fernandes is hopeful for a summer revamp and improved collective performance going forward. He is also expected to play a crucial role in Manchester United's upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham, a match seen as an opportunity for the team to end the season on a high note. Club legend Roy Keane highlighted Fernandes's importance in pivotal matches, noting his potential to create decisive moments based on the club's historic success in finals.
