Man United left to sweat over Bruno Fernandes’ condition ahead of Arsenal clash

Manchester United enjoyed a jubilant afternoon at Old Trafford, but it was marred but an injury scare as Bruno Fernandes was seen nursing a knock in the dugout.

The 30-year-old captained the Red Devils in their Premier League clash against Everton on Sunday. He started as an attacking midfielder in Ruben Amorim’s newly implemented 3-4-2-1 formation.

The Portuguese playmaker was particularly influential in the first half, providing the assists for the first two goals scored by Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.

However, the club captain made way in the middle of the second half, leaving his place on the pitch for Manuel Ugarte.

And while the match was already in the bag at the point, with United leading by four unanswered goals, the camera caught Fernandes in the dugout with an ice pack strapped around his foot, as explained by Sky Sports.

Man United anxious over Bruno Fernandes following injury scare

While the source didn’t provide additional information on the player’s condition, the fans will be hoping that the midfielder avoids any injuries and resumes action as swiftly as possible.

Man United have a major Premier League showdown awaiting them on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium, as they’ll lock horns with their old rivals Arsenal.

Therefore,  Amorim would loathe to lose the services of his compatriot ahead of this important clash, especially with the team beginning to build some momentum after back-to-back victories over Bodo/Glimt and Everton.

The Red Devils faithful will be anxiously awaiting any updates on the player’s condition.

This season, Fernandes has contributed with four goals and nine assists in 20 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his undeniable significance for the cause.
