Bruno Fernandes Returns to Training Under New Head Coach Ruben Amorim

Bruno Fernandes is back at Carrington and preparing for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Ipswich Town this Sunday. This marks the first time the United captain has worked under new head coach Ruben Amorim, who recently joined the club.

Bruno was granted early leave from the Portugal national team by manager Roberto Martinez. He missed Portugal’s 1-1 draw with Croatia due to suspension after receiving his second yellow card in the UEFA Nations League campaign. Despite this, he played a crucial role in Portugal's earlier 5-1 victory over Poland, scoring one of the goals.

On Tuesday, Fernandes met Amorim and his coaching team and quickly got to work on the training pitch. The two share a connection through their Sporting CP days in Portugal, where Bruno admired Amorim's success in guiding Sporting to the top of the Portuguese league.

Bruno is entering Sunday’s match in fine form, having scored four goals in his last four appearances for United. His experience and recent performances will be crucial as the Reds begin the Amorim era with the away match at Ipswich Town, which kicks off at 16:30 GMT.

Speaking about Amorim earlier this month, Fernandes highlighted the manager’s strong connection with players. “You see it at the end of the game when a manager is leaving a club. The way the players say goodbye shows he’s a great character and someone who gives his all to the team,” Bruno shared during an interview with the club.

Fans will be eager to see how Amorim’s leadership impacts the team as they look to bounce back in the league and climb the table.

Amorim's arrival comes at a crucial time for Manchester United, with the club aiming to regain consistency in the Premier League. Known for his tactical flexibility and focus on teamwork, the Portuguese coach has already gained a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest managerial talents. His success at Sporting CP, where he won the Primeira Liga title and developed young players, has raised expectations among United supporters.

For Fernandes, working under Amorim offers a unique opportunity to build on their shared roots in Portuguese football. The midfielder’s leadership and attacking prowess will likely play a pivotal role in translating Amorim’s vision onto the pitch. Their understanding of each other’s work ethic could provide a solid foundation for success as the team adapts to a new style of play.

Meanwhile, the Carrington training sessions have reportedly been intense and focused, with Amorim bringing fresh energy to the squad. Players returning from international duty, including Diogo Dalot, are also keen to make an impression as the team gears up for a demanding run of fixtures.

Sunday’s match against Ipswich Town is set to test both Amorim’s strategies and the team’s ability to implement them effectively. Fans will be watching closely to see if United can secure a positive result under their new manager.

As the Reds head into this new chapter, supporters will be hopeful that Amorim’s tenure can reignite the team’s competitive edge and bring success back to Old Trafford. With Fernandes leading by example and a promising new coach at the helm, the future looks bright for Manchester United.
