Manchester United need more players of the quality and character of captain Bruno Fernandes, said manager Ruben Amorim after the Portuguese’s stunning free-kick in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Arsenal. 

Fernandes has faced criticism for his leadership in recent weeks, with former United skipper Roy Keane labelling him an “imposter.” But amid another dreadful season for the Red Devils, Fernandes has repeatedly been a rare source of inspiration.  His brilliant strike on the stroke of half-time at Old Trafford was his 12th goal of the season. United’s second-highest goalscorer is the injured Amad Diallo on nine.
