The Red Devils: Following the debate that has sparked over the importance of skipper Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United, with legend Roy Keane calling the Portuguese midfielder an ‘impostor’, head coach Ruben Amorim has jumped to his captain’s defence. Bruno rallied separate comebacks for Manchester United in the 2-2 draw vs Everton, where the Red Devils were trailing 0-2 at half-time, and in their 3-2 win over Ipswich Town.
The Red Devils head coach backed his captain, whilst acknowledging the status of Keane, by claiming his opinion is the exact opposite of the former Irish midfielder. "I heard about that. I have a different opinion. Bruno is really important for us and the club. He is playing well in a difficult context. He always wants the responsibility. I know sometimes as a captain he does things with his arms, but most of all, it is a lot of frustration for this year and the last year. He wants to win, and sometimes, it is hard to deal with that frustration.
"Everyone has an opinion. Roy Keane has big standards from his time at the club, and it is normal to have an opinion. I have an opposite opinion, and I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane's because I am the coach," said Amorim in a press conference.
