Manchester United won 3-2 against Bodo/Glimt in a thrilling Europa League match.
United started strong, with Alejandro Garnacho scoring just one minute into the game. This quick goal set the tone for the match, showing that United was ready to fight for the win.
However, Bodo/Glimt did not back down. They managed to score two goals, putting pressure on United. But Rasmus Hojlund stepped up, scoring two goals himself and helping his team secure the victory.
Bruno Fernandes played a key role in the midfield alongside Manuel Ugarte. This setup allowed Mason Mount to play as one of the attackers behind Hojlund. Amorim explained that Fernandes was given a deeper role to help control the game and make quick passes.
After the match, Amorim praised Fernandes, saying he is the most experienced player on the team. He noted that Fernandes is great at switching plays and keeping the game flowing. He also mentioned that Mason Mount plays better when he has the ball in front of him.
Fernandes had a mixed performance during the game. He was caught out of position for Bodo/Glimt’s first goal, which was a setback for United. Despite this, he showed his skills by completing 88% of his passes and making seven long passes.
Although he attempted four shots, only one was on target. Amorim might consider using Fernandes in this deeper role more often, especially against teams that play defensively. This could allow for more attacking players on the field.
Fernandes is known for his great vision on the field, but he needs to be more disciplined in his defensive duties to succeed in this position. Overall, the match was a thrilling display of football, showcasing the talents of both teams.
