Bruno Fernandes praises Manchester United substitute as three Premier League clubs show interest in signing him.

Manchester United staged a thrilling late comeback to claim a 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With the year nearing its end, Ruben Amorim delivered a memorable result that gave fans plenty to cheer about. Despite conceding an early goal from Josko Gvardiol, which came through a stroke of luck, Amorim’s side showed resilience and determination to turn the game around.

Amad Diallo emerged as the hero of the day, first earning a penalty that Bruno Fernandes calmly converted to equalize. Later, Diallo sealed the win with a stunning late goal, sending United supporters into wild celebrations as the team secured its 80th derby triumph over City.

While Amad’s match-winning performance rightly dominated headlines, Bruno Fernandes highlighted the collective effort that made the victory possible. In an interview with Sky Sports, Bruno praised Victor Lindelof for his crucial contribution after coming off the bench. The Swedish defender played a key role in helping United hold onto their lead, with Bruno commending his composure and experience in the closing stages of the game.

“Victor came in and he helped,” Bruno remarked. “He gives you comfort, he’s good on the ball, he’s experienced, and we count on everyone. That comes from the manager as well—he’s shown he values every player.”

Despite his impressive showing, Lindelof’s future at the club remains uncertain. With limited opportunities in a crowded defensive lineup and his contract set to expire at the end of the season, reports suggest Manchester United may consider selling him in January to avoid losing him for free. Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United have all been linked with the 30-year-old, leaving United with a decision to make as the winter transfer window approaches.
