Bruno-Fernandes-1024×576

By Seyi Babalola

Ruben Amorim, Manchester United manager, has claimed that “everything is fine” with Bruno Fernandes.

Amorim has dismissed concerns that Fernandes sustained an injury during their 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Palace took the lead in the first half thanks to a penalty from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

But the Red Devils turned the game around after the break, thanks to goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.

Fernandes, who assisted the two United goals, hit the deck after a heavy kick in the dying moments.

It sparked concerns among fans ahead of the next game against West Ham, as he was seen speaking at length with members of United’s coaching staff.

But Amorim told TNT Sports: “It was a kick.

“I was shouting at him, we made a substitution in the end.

“He needed to talk to the bench but he said it was just a kick so everything is okay.”
