🚨🚨🎙️| Bruno Fernandes: “We need players who want to play for Manchester United.”
Recruitment needs to be done properly, with the right people, as happened last summer.
In that sense, Ruben Amorim made a good choice because he brought in good people, good professionals, and good players.”
And this is exactly why some Manchester United fans owe Ruben Amorim a serious apology.
For months, people kept repeating the same nonsense every single time certain players performed well: “Amorim didn’t sign them.” “Those weren’t his players.” “The board chose them.” Meanwhile, some of us kept saying the manager clearly had a major influence on the profiles being targeted and the type of personalities being brought into the squad.
Now your own captain, the player inside the dressing room who actually sees everything first-hand, is literally confirming it publicly. Bruno Fernandes himself is openly praising Ruben Amorim for helping bring in the right people, the right professionals, and the right players for Manchester United.
But when some of us were saying this months ago, suddenly Amorim was “our boyfriend,” apparently.
The funniest part is that many fans acted as though Amorim had absolutely no input in recruitment decisions simply because the club did not sign every single player linked with us online. That is not how football works. Managers identify profiles, qualities, personalities, and tactical needs, while the board and recruitment team work within budgets, negotiations, and availability.
No manager gets every single first-choice target they want.
But what matters is whether the players arriving fit the culture, mentality, and football structure the manager is trying to build. And clearly, according to Bruno Fernandes himself, Amorim played an important role in making sure the club brought in the right kind of people.
So after all the constant mocking and “he didn’t sign them” arguments… jokes on you all, honestly.
