Manchester United languishes, Bruno Fernandes is hit by the first injury in his career

Bruno Fernandes' absence from Manchester United's last match has become a big highlight in the world of football. Since his arrival at Old Trafford in January 2020, Fernandes has only missed one previous match due to illness. The dramatic 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in 2022 was the moment when Fernandes had to observe the match from the sidelines.

These statistics show how big a role Fernandes plays for MU. His extraordinary role and contribution made him a very important player for the team. However, injury or illness is an inevitable part of an athlete's journey, even for players like Fernandes.

Fernandes' absence in Manchester United's last match was very significant. The team, which is fighting for a place in European competition next season, felt the impact very clearly. Currently United sits in eighth place in the Premier League standings, having only collected 54 points from 35 matches.

MU's position is now level with Chelsea and two points behind Newcastle United in the hunt for tickets to European competition. With only a few matches remaining in the competition, every point is very valuable for the Red Devils.
