Bruno Fernandes injury: Man Utd boss Amorim offers fresh update afte Leeds draw

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that captain Bruno Fernandes is nearing a comeback from his hamstring injury, providing a significant boost for the struggling side.

Fernandes has been out of action since sustaining the injury in a match against Aston Villa before Christmas. His absence has been felt, with United missing their influential midfielder in recent fixtures against Newcastle, Wolves, and Leeds.

The team's difficult run of form continued with a 1-1 draw against Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday. Following the match, Amorim provided an update on Fernandes while addressing questions from TNT Sports about the club's January transfer strategy.

Despite previously stating he did not anticipate any new signings or departures this month, Amorim was asked if the team's performance might prompt a change in plans. In his response, he shifted focus to his current squad and the impending return of key players.

"Just focus on the game and let’s prepare with the players that we have," Amorim stated.

"I expect to have some minutes for Bruno and Mason Mount maybe, so we will see. They are players who are ready to help us."

When pressed on whether Fernandes and Mount could be available for the upcoming match against Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday, the manager remained cautious, simply replying, "We’ll see."
