Ruben Amorim says Bruno Fernandes was fatigued during the Arsenal match.

In their recent match against Arsenal, Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes started in the central midfield position. However, United's head coach Ruben Amorim revealed that Fernandes was feeling a bit tired during the game. This was evident in their 2-0 defeat against the Gunners at the Emirates on Wednesday, which marked Amorim's first loss as United's boss.

Despite a strong defensive performance in the first half, United struggled to contain Arsenal after the break. The Gunners capitalized on two corner kicks, with Jurrien Timber and Wiliam Saliba scoring the decisive goals. On the other hand, United found it difficult to create chances of their own, with their best opportunity coming from Matthijs De Ligt's header, which was saved by David Raya. Interestingly, the assist for De Ligt's chance came from Fernandes, who was playing in a deeper central midfield role.

Under Amorim's leadership, Fernandes has started in all four matches so far. However, Amorim admitted that the Portuguese midfielder was struggling physically during the game against Arsenal. He also highlighted the importance of understanding each player's capabilities and managing their workload accordingly. For instance, Amorim mentioned that new signing Manuel Ugarte needs more time to settle in.

United's record under Amorim has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and one loss in four matches. Amorim believes that his team is still in the initial phase of a rebuilding process and they need to focus on the basics of winning games. He emphasized the importance of putting in effort and getting back to winning ways, which will eventually lead to a more dominant and successful team.

Amorim also acknowledged the expectations of United's supporters, who want to see their team perform well and win games. He believes that this is a gradual process and the team needs to first focus on giving their best effort on the field. Once they start winning games, the supporters will naturally want to see a more dominant and dominant team. Amorim is confident that they are on the right track and with time, they will be able to meet the expectations of their fans.
