Bruno Fernandes confessed that he has no issues with the new roles he has at Manchester United, under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, and recalled that he had already fulfilled them previously when he was at Sporting, with coach Jorge Jesus - who recently spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo.
The captain of the Manchester United team was chosen to speak with journalists at the press conference previewing the matches between the Portugal and Ireland national teams. He was questioned about the more withdrawn role he now has with the Red Devils, and he remembered the times he spent at Sporting.
"I like to play football, regardless of the position, I will do my best. Everyone has preferred positions. In a space with a lot of quality, you have to adapt", Bruno Fernandes began to explain, revealing that he has no problem with the new roles assigned by Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.
Bruno Fernandes continued: "I played these positions with Jorge Jesus at Sporting. When you see from the front, you can find more spaces, the risk is lower. When I play as a number 10, the goal is to create plays, finish. I adapt to what is the collective game. The most important thing is to win, I want to play as well as possible".
The midfielder, who was the green and white captain, also took the time to talk about Nuno Mendes, who left the lions and now shines with the European champion: "I caught him at Sporting, he does a pre-season. He was always a shy and extroverted kid. He is on everyone's lips for his quality. It's not up to me to decide if he is the best in the world. We have many high-level players. The PSG players had a great season. Unfortunately for us, none managed to take the title of the best in the world. But the fact that they are there is a source of pride for all Portuguese. They are players of an extremely high level".
