The Ball – “Bruno Fernandes will score a lot of goals” (England)

man boss. United, Eric ten Hag, was satisfied with the performance of the “Red Devils” on Monday evening, as they beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at Old Trafford in the Premier League resumption (round 17), in their first Premier League match since Cristiano Ronaldo and the club split by mutual agreement this month.

«Yes, the first goal was a rehearsed move: the ‘tester’ is getting more and more important these days: not to give them away, to take advantage of them, because they decide the matches. But we have to score more goals: we created a lot of chances, and it took us a long time to get to the third goal. We could have finished the game even before the break: we have to be quick to finish the game. Rashford and Martial top scorers and Bruno [Fernandes] He will score more goals.” The praise that the Dutch coach left for the midfielder and captain of the team came after his presentation on Monday against Nottingham Forest, in the analysis of the match, in statements to Amazon Prime, reported by the BBC.

In addition to Bruno Fernandes, Ten Hag praised Brazilian Casemiro’s performance in the middle. “It is a pleasure to work with Casemiro, everyone sees the role he plays and the levels he takes in the team. I think the players grow during the season. They performed well at the World Cup in Qatar, and now they want to continue: with the same strength, maintaining the level of play. But we should have scored the third goal much earlier, we had two good chances before the break, ”was a remark to his fans.

For the future and the second half of the season, now with United one point behind Tottenham, in fourth place – a position that already offers the possibility of playing in the Champions League in 2023/24 – and with one game less than “Tottenham” (from 15 to 16 residents London), Ten Hag is an optimist.

′′ We have many matches ahead of us, we have to conserve energy, it will be better for everyone. But for the team to evolve, we have to be clinical in finishing. He replaces Martial because, as great as he is to play, the match against Wolves will be over in three days: if not, then 90 minutes on the field will be over. But I want it fresh and keep it as long as possible, ”said Tim Haag, who does not rule out the arrival of another striker in January, after he saw his compatriot Cody Gakbo, one of the goals of the “Red Devils”, sign for Liverpool.

“We are always in the market, but we have to monitor the player’s sporting performance and his financial conditions. We will do everything we can to bring the player we need to Old Trafford, ”concluded Ten Hag, after seeing the“ Reds ”waiting at the Eindhoven derby.

«I will not say whether this player is Gakpo or not, I will not single out. We are looking for attacking players, a very good striker, as more decisive matches will come and we want to continue to fight for victory in all competitions in which we participate until the end of this season, ”concluded Ten Hag, who surprised that day with the appearance of Luke Shaw, the usual left back. , in the ranks of the Axis, along with the recent returnees (from the World Cup and from the French national team) Raphael Varane, in addition to also betting on Casemiro soon to get the title, after he was in evidence with “Skrit” in Qatar.
