Just as we analyzed earlier, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a shocking decision that made Bruno Fernandes react in an amusing fashion.
We just analyzed Bruno Fernandes’ captain-like behavior earlier, he was just given the armband by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian manager made the decision we all saw coming from miles away as Bruno Fernandes attempts to lead his teammates.
Through hard work, dedication, and by not accepting a mediocre approach to work. This is exactly how the Portuguese star was considered for the captain’s armband in the upcoming Champions League clash against PSG. In the wake of Harry Maguire’s absence from this game due to injury. The gaffer didn’t see a better-suited player to take the lead.
“We hope Harry will be fit for the weekend. The captain sits next to me, Bruno will captain the team tomorrow. Bruno has come in and had a great impact with all the stats showing that,” said the manager on Manchester United’s website. “His performances have been receiving real great praise as well. Not changed the team, but sparked the team.”
Bruno gets a pleasant surprise.
Without realizing it, Bruno was sitting down next to Ole in the press conference as he was about to get the news. The player’s facial reaction is proof that Solskjaer wanted to surprise him with this news in front of the cameras.
“I was not expecting this,” Bruno admitted. “I know the same time as you. Of course, for me, it’s an honour I will be captain for my team-mates and being captain of Manchester United is important for me.
“I think the captain is everybody and everyone needs to help; everyone needs to be a leader. The leadership is different in every player. Tomorrow will not be about me, it’s about the team. Leading the team is every day in the training ground, every training, every game, and I think everyone is doing their own job to lead the team in the way they think is the best.”
“I think I grew up like this, you know?” Fernandes explained about his passionate approach. “It is the way I have to be. Sometimes it is too much, but I think I can help the team with the way I am. All players are different and you need all those characters to complete the team.”
