Bruno Fernandes, who is raring to go again in the new season, believes new signings will only help Manchester United become better. Manchester United have already completed a big-money move for Jadon Sancho this summer, while Raphael Varane is expected to join soon. When asked how much excitement is there around new signings, the Portuguese player told the club media, “Of course – when you see the names that are coming and what they have done in the last few seasons.”
“We are really happy with everyone that is coming in and of course to keep the lads who have been here the last few seasons is important because you have to grow up and at the same time you have to keep the same players to know we are doing better and better. With this team, we know we can do better, but adding some players to the team helps the team be better.”
Bruno Fernandes , who was part of Portugal’s Euro 2020 squad in the summer, rejoined his United teammates at Carrington last week. With the Premier League opener against Leeds United on 14 August drawing ever closer, Fernandes said, “Yes, I’m fresh and happy to be back, seeing my team-mates again, training again, it’s always a good thing.”
“It was nice, finally a long break after the season. It was a long time, I think five years maybe since my last full break and honestly it was good to be with family and friends and enjoy time with my kids also because when we are playing the time we spend at home is less than what we spend at the training ground!”
He then went on to speak about the young talents impressing at the club. “I think we know some of them already. Jimmy Garner, I think is a really good player, I really like him and the way he kicks the ball. He’s really aggressive off the ball too. [Anthony] Elanga was already playing with us and this pre-season he has been brilliant. He’s a nice kid, works hard and is really humble and I think he’s deserving of everything that’s happening to him. I see a brilliant future for him and Jimmy too, and also for all the other kids,” he added.
Fernandes, who joined United in 2020 January, has spoken about what it feels like to move to a new country following a transfer. “That’s the problem because they will arrive almost at the same time I did in terms of I trained two days and played straightaway!” Bruno Fernandes added. “I think it’s always difficult to change country and change club, it doesn’t matter when you come.
“I was also lucky to play one game against Wolves and then we had five days off [matches] and one week in Marbella [for the winter training camp in 2020] and it was nice time to meet the lads and get to know them, so I was lucky at the same time. It’s also difficult to come to a new club, but at the same time you come to a big club and you are excited to play and being part of the team is always big. So I don’t think there are many changes from joining in January to July.”
