Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has heaped praise on the club’s latest recruit after another outstanding performance in yesterday’s pre-season clash with Fiorentina.
Speaking to the media after the match, Fernandes was glowing in his assessment of the player’s instant impact:
“The energy he’s brought to the dressing room from day one is incredible. He’s adapted to our style so quickly — it feels like he’s been here for years. If he stays fit, I’m certain we’ll win plenty of trophies this season,” Fernandes said with a grin.
The new arrival, already a fan favourite with his name echoing around Old Trafford, has made an immediate impression since joining earlier this summer. His relentless work ethic, sharp technical skills, and winning mentality have drawn comparisons to United legends of the past.
Against Fiorentina, he was involved in almost every attacking move — making clever runs, delivering precise passes, and pressing the opposition with intensity. His link-up play with Fernandes and other attackers carved open the Italian defence on multiple occasions.
Supporters took to social media to call him the “missing piece” in Erik ten Hag’s plans, with many believing he can be a long-term leader on and off the pitch.
United’s victory over Fiorentina was more than just a pre-season result — it was a message of intent. The speed, creativity, and determination on show have given fans real belief that silverware could be returning to Old Trafford this year.
“This is definitely our trophy-winning season,” Fernandes declared, drawing huge cheers from the stands.
With the new signing’s form showing no signs of slowing, the Theatre of Dreams might just witness one of Manchester United’s most memorable campaigns in recent history.
