Bruno Fernandes has been named as the new club captain of Manchester United.

The Portugal midfielder takes over from Harry Maguire having worn the armband on numerous occasions in the past.

Always fit and motivated, plays every minute with great work rate. Has captaincy experience and leads by example. Dont care what rivals think about him being a moaner, he led us last season tremendously.

The best ability is availability, and Bruno has always fought with his heart! He has been the fans captain for a season, glad he has been given the armband on a permanent basis.

Fernandes has been named as the new club captain of Manchester United according to ManUTD.com official news reaching SportsFila.com

The Portuguese midfielder has already worn the armband for United on numerous occasions and Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he will now lead the team on a permanent basis.

Fernandes has scored 64 goals and contributed 54 assists in just 185 games for the club since joining in 2020.

As captain, the two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year will continue to drive the highest standards throughout the squad as United push for success in the 2023/24 season and beyond.

Bruno Takes Main Captain Role from Maguire

Captains need to be on the pitch and you can count on him being on it. Hes 100% committed. Hes passionate. Yes complains to the ref too much but atleast he gives a damn unlike rashford who goes missing when were 2 nil down

Bruno Fernandes has been chosen as Manchester United’s new captain by Erik ten Hag, the manager promoting the Portuguese from his deputy role to be Harry Maguire’s replacement.

Fernandes has been the de facto captain since Ten Hag ended the defender’s status as an automatic choice after two matches of last season, the playmaker wearing the armband in 45 matches in the 2022-23 campaign.

Ronaldo was 36 when acquired in summer 2021 by Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and Ibrahimovic 34 on being recruited by José Mourinho, five years before. Cole, who will be with United on their US tour, was 23 when Ferguson bought him from Newcastle in January 1995. Solskjær was the same age when the manager added him in July 1996, and Dwight Yorke 26 when purchased two years later.

Fabrizio Romano Confirms When Greenwood Is Returning

Romano confirms Greenwood DATE as Man Utd ponder decision

Man Utd are expected to announce their decision around Mason Greenwood on August 14, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian journalist tweeted that the club will be making their decision public – over whether to loan, keep, or let go of the striker – next month.

Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future

It’s thought that Erik ten Hag will not be responsible for the decision and that it will be up to the club. The announcement will come before Man Utd’s opening Premier League game of the season against Wolves.

There have been a number of serious charges against Greenwood, including attempted rape and assault, which were dropped on 2 February

United’s incoming business is now largely done, and any more arrivals are likely to depend on departures.

There is interest in the likes of Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Fred and Donny van de Beek.

Ten Hag Receives Good News About His Next Signing

If there are exits, United are understood to be ready to go into the market to replace them.

Strong interest remains in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.

United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.

Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.

“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.

Hojlund Man Utd Debut Date Revealed Breaking News

Published

on

SportsFila hs been told Hojlund could make his United debut in a friendly against Lens on Saturday and will be available for the start of the competitive season – just as Ten Hag wanted. The Red Devils face Wolves at Old Trafford in their opening Premier League encounter on August 14.

ETH said: Rasmus is not yet fully a United player, so I won’t say too much. Of course, we’ve got [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford at the moment and [Jadon] Sancho, who can play there. But an out-and-out striker is what we need and we’re desperate for one. I’m very sure that the club know that, the manager knows that and us players would love one to come, too.”

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

United had been playing with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho up front during pre-season after Wout Weghorst returned to Burnley following the expiry of his six-month loan spell. Anthony Martial is the Red Devils’ only senior striker in the squad, but he has struggled with injuries over the past 12 months and hasn’t been available.

Rasmus Hojlund was only Erik ten Hag’s fifth-choice striker when it came to Man Utd transfer targets this summer.

We have learned that the Dutchman wanted Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic and Ivan Toney (before he was banned), respectively, but ended up going for Hojlund.

We have also learned that the Dutchman is under a lot of pressure for this transfer to work for the club, with the club spending £72million on the youngster who is set to undergo a medical ahead of a move from Atalanta.

Sky Sports News senior reporter Melissa Reddy:

“United are conscious that Hojlund is more potential than the finished article, but believe Erik ten Hag’s coaching could help mould him into an elite player.

“Marcus Rashford may need to play some games as United’s focal point while the 20-year-old adjusts and gains experience. Long-term he is seen as a talent that has the potential to become world class under Ten Hag.

“United have now solved the three core squad issues the manager identified: a goalkeeper, forward and dynamic midfielder. This has been done within the budget the club set themselves, which was conditioned by Financial Fair Play regulations.

Fabrizio Romano has named Amrabat as Man Utd’s top next target for the holding midfield position. However, the transfer guru has insisted Man Utd must sell a player or two before they can act for Amrabat.

On that front, Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are all on the chopping block.

Fred is wanted by Fulham and Galatasaray as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia. Elsewhere, Real Sociedad have eyed Van de Beek as a replacement for the recently retired David Silva.

McTominay was courted by West Ham, though Sky Sports suggested Man Utd have priced the Hammers out of a move.

The Daily Mail reports according to SportsFila.com confirming United have already begun contacting agents over moves for a back-up goalkeeper, a depth option at centre-half and a high profile holding midfielder.

Regarding the latter, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia was cited as being on United’s radar. However, with the Belgian having already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, it’s Sofyan Amrabat who is far likely to join Man Utd

Hojlund medical today and Amrabat says ‘yes’

The Athletic report Rasmus Hojlund will undergo his medical with Manchester United today.

The Danish striker, 20, has agreed a move to Old Trafford from Serie A club Atalanta in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in add-ons.

A five-year deal is on the table, with the option of another year.

Hojlund will become boss Erik ten Hag’s third signing of the summer following Mason Mount and Andre Onana’s moves to Manchester.

Rasmus could be quickly followed by the fourth, with Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat said to have rejected late advances from the Middle East and said ‘yes’ to the Red Devils.

Twenty-six-year-old Amrabat worked under ten Hag at FC Utrecht and at £26million looks to be a bargain signing after the Morocco star impressed at last year’s World Cup.

His arrival could see Fred leave the club, with interest from clubs in Turkey.
