Ruben Amorim, the coach of Manchester United, has hit back at comments made by former Manchester United skipper Roy Keane about the team's current captain, Bruno Fernandes. Keane had stated that Fernandes is 'not a fighter' and that 'talent is not enough' during an episode of The Overlap podcast. However, Amorim disagrees with Keane's assessment, saying that his opinion as the coach matters more and that he thinks Fernandes is doing well as the team's captain. Fernandes has been a key player for Manchester United since his signing and has been named captain in July 2023. Despite his leadership being questioned, Amorim's defense of Fernandes suggests that he has faith in the player's abilities to lead the team.
