Manchester United’s captain Bruno Fernandes reveals ONE THING they don’t like about Ruben Amorim and they’re all exhausted now.
Bruno Fernandes has given a frank assessment of the struggles Manchester United players are facing under new manager Ruben Amorim. While expressing admiration for Amorim’s tactical knowledge and coaching methods, Fernandes admitted that certain aspects of the manager’s approach have left the squad physically and mentally drained. Since arriving at Old Trafford, Amorim was expected to bring a fresh identity and a structured playing style, but Fernandes’ latest remarks suggest that the transition has been more challenging than anticipated.
After United’s recent match, Fernandes spoke openly about the team’s difficulties in adapting to Amorim’s system. He acknowledged the manager’s vision but also hinted at frustrations within the squad. Sources indicate that one of the biggest concerns is Amorim’s insistence on a relentless high-pressing game. This strategy demands constant energy and discipline, pushing players to their limits throughout every match. Some squad members are reportedly struggling with the physical demands, leading to concerns over fatigue and long-term fitness.
Another challenge, though not explicitly mentioned by Fernandes, is Amorim’s emphasis on tactical structure and positional discipline. Unlike previous managers who encouraged more creative freedom, Amorim’s strict tactical approach requires players to stick rigidly to their roles. This has left some feeling restricted and mentally exhausted from the constant focus on maintaining positional awareness and executing detailed instructions. The structured nature of training sessions has also been described as intense, adding to the players’ mental strain.
United’s performances have been inconsistent, reflecting the growing pains of implementing Amorim’s philosophy. While the squad is working to adapt, the adjustment period has been far from seamless. Despite the difficulties, Fernandes remains hopeful that, with time, the team will overcome these challenges and fully embrace the manager’s system. However, with pressure mounting and results under scrutiny, Amorim must find a way to balance his tactical demands with the players’ well-being. If tensions persist, the manager may need to reconsider certain aspects of his approach to prevent further strain within the squad.
