Manchester United icon advocates Bruno Fernandes to abandon Ruben Amorim and ally with Real Madrid

Manchester United, currently struggling to replicate the success of the Sir Alex Ferguson era, is managed by Ruben Amorim, who has the lowest win percentage of any manager at Manchester United since World War II. Amorim's tactical rigidity has left senior players, including star midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 'confused' and 'frustrated'. Fernandes, who is playing slightly deeper than his nominal No.10 position this season due to Amorim's 3-4-3 preference, has shown loyalty by remaining at Manchester United despite reported interest from abroad over the summer.

However, former Manchester United player Gary Pallister believes that Fernandes would be better off playing elsewhere. Pallister did not specify a particular formation that would get the best out of Fernandes, but in a previous statement, he suggested that a 4-3-3 setup could be more beneficial.

The Portuguese midfielder cut a frustrated figure during Manchester United's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, leaving the Red Devils a long way behind their city rivals in the Premier League table. Despite this, the Manchester United fans continue to show their love for Fernandes, who has been a shining light in a struggling team.

Fernandes may have been a star at teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona, but for now, he remains at Old Trafford, striving to turn the club's fortunes around. Pallister, though critical of Amorim's tactics, is glad that Fernandes has stayed at Manchester United, praising the current skipper as the best player of the last few years at the club.

Ruben Amorim has won just one of Manchester United's opening five games this season across all competitions, leaving the club's fans and players alike hoping for a turnaround in fortunes soon. Fernandes, despite the challenges, continues to give his all for the Red Devils, and it is hoped that his undeniable talent will shine through as the season progresses.
