Sofascore gave Bruno Fernandes 7.9 points, the highest in the MU squad in the recent 0-1 loss to Arsenal. However, the Portuguese player's performance left MU fans dissatisfied.

One account wrote on X: "Bruno should go to Saudi Arabia, and MU should spend a lot of money to bring Baleba back immediately". Another fan commented: "Baleba will be MU's solution in the midfield, Bruno is really not suitable for the central midfielder role". Another fan shared: "MU is too weak in the midfield. They cannot compete for anything if they do not improve this position".

In the last match, Bruno created 5 chances for his teammates, achieved an accurate passing rate of 84%, 77 touches and won 5 duels. However, he did not have a good combination with Casemiro in midfield.

Commenting after the match, former MU midfielder Rio Ferdinand also considered Bruno a "problem" for the team. He said: "MU must be aggressive and improve their ability to transition if Bruno plays deep in midfield. If they meet a stronger team and play more physically, MU will have big problems in midfield."

Last week, MU considered recruiting midfielder Baleba from Brighton. "Red Devils" fans believe that Baleba's good technical background and youth are what the team needs at this time. But MU decided to withdraw when Baleba was worth more than 100 million pounds.

Other midfield names being considered by the Red Devils include Sporting Lisbon's Morten Hjulmand and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton.

The moment Sesko debuted at Old Trafford On the evening of August 9, Benjamin Sesko officially debuted at Old Trafford before MU's friendly match with Fiorentina.
