United captain Bruno Fernandes has been the club’s leading star for the past few years, with no player able to replicate his level in recent seasons.
The Portuguese international joined the club in January 2020, which of course exceeded supporters’ expectations when they arrived at Old Trafford.
The 30-year-old has scored 98 goals and 83 assists in the five years since his transfer from Sports CP, an amazing feat for a midfielder.
In the recent campaign, Bruno scored 37 goals, which is unthinkable for Ruben Amorim’s efforts in the last third of his efforts.
This summer offers the boss an opportunity to make his own stamps on the side, and needs to attract players who can help the captain seek success in the club.
The latest update on Manchester United’s hunt for new additions this summer
A striker has been the top pick for Manchester United’s shortlist in the previous few weeks, leading to many names being called a potential target for joining Amorim Revival in 2025/26.
From now until the end of the window, people like Ollie Watkins, Dusan Vlahovic and Nicolas Jackson are all called names.
However, other areas of the stadium have also been invested, leading Juventus star Douglas Luiz to be the target, according to Corriere Dello Sport through Sport Dilessent.
They claimed that the Brazilians were once again on their radar in Nottingham Forest, Everton and West Ham United, and failed to reach an agreement with the Serie A joint party.
It also noted that his agent has been in the UK with interested parties but did not state which clubs are discussing to recruit former Aston Villa midfielder.
Why Manchester United’s latest goal is perfect for Bruno
As mentioned earlier, Bruno is undoubtedly the shine of Manchester United throughout 2024/25, and the fan base hopes he will repeat such feats in the upcoming season.
However, besides the obvious rewards in his performance, he has also attracted attention with his versatility, which puts him in many positions.
It is undeniable that his best position is in tenth place, but given the team’s lack of depth, he was also forced to have a slightly deeper role in eight numbers.
Given that investments are invested in the team this summer, you hope there are other midfield options that allow the Portuguese international to reach or even exceed his level in 2024/25.
Any potential move by Louis will provide the captain with an opportunity to do this, and the Brazilian has the tools to provide high-quality additions to Amorim.
Former teammate John McGinn, who was labeled as “world-class”, has shown his talent for driving forward and finding teammates in any given opportunity.
He also won 2.1 tackles per 90 shots while winning a 68% deprivation attempt he entered, being able to regain the ball – making him an excellent choice for the winning team at Manchester United’s core.

His further figures further back up why he was perfect in Amorim’s roster, completing 79% of the breakup he tried, having the ability to move forward before passing the killer to his teammates.
It is not clear whether the player himself will arouse any interest from the Red Devils this summer, but it is clear that he has a lot of talent that will make him a top-notch addition.
Any move by the former villa star will allow Bruno to act consistently in his natural position in 2025/26 and add another diamond to the club’s already impressive frontline.
