RUBEN AMORIM CONFIRMS: BRUNO FERNANDES KEEPS PENALTY DUTIES DESPITE MISSES
Man United boss Ruben Amorim confirms Bruno Fernandes remains his main penalty taker despite recent misses. The manager backs his captain ahead of a crucial trip to face Liverpool at Anfield.
Bruno Fernandes is the penalty taker for Manchester United, and Ruben Amorim maintains that he has complete faith in him.
Up until this season, when he has missed two of his three penalties—in a draw with Fulham and a loss to Brentford—the Portuguese has been dependable from the spot throughout his Red Devils career.
Amorim laughed and continued, "I know that is not easy for him, but I guess he had 70 penalties, and he missed like nine, two with me, so I am extremely unhappy with that."
However, he exudes confidence. In order to be prepared, he is practising the penalties and attempting to comprehend that others are observing how he scores them. We have more players who can also score a penalty if necessary.
When asked if Fernandes would retain the responsibility, Amorim responded, "Yes, he is the main taker." United had added forwards Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko in the summer, all of whom could fill in.
He is passing right now and scores a lot of goals and penalties. We can do something else. Once more, we can adjust if necessary, but I have complete faith that Bruno will resolve that.
Fernandes, meanwhile, was singled out by Amorim as being out of the ordinary among his players in terms of attending a lot of games.
"I think that is normal," the 40-year-old said, expressing his belief that other distractions have taken over.
"There are many diversions now, and everything is different. They probably do not watch many sports. You have players like Bruno, who follow every game on TV and keep an eye on his teammates.
"However, there are those guys who play really well; it is okay if they want to try something else."
When United plays Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, they will try to accomplish something they have not been able to do under Amorim yet: win consecutive Premier League games.
After losing three straight games heading into the international break, Arne Slot's team is similarly anxious for a win, and the home crowd will do their best to frighten the visitors.
Amorim, who managed a 2-2 draw at Anfield the previous season, trusted his team to cope with the commotion.
'We showed last year that we could, and I believe that how we begin the game matters more than the surroundings,' he stated.
The atmosphere will undoubtedly be noisy if they get a corner or an opportunity, but we are prepared to play with that. If you look at last year—not this year, but last year—you can see that we occasionally perform better there than under pressure at home, so you never know what will happen.
It is crucial to get off to a strong start, warm up well, have a gut instinct, and realise that the opening few minutes of the game will be difficult. Therefore, even though I am aware that they are prepared, we still need to get ready for the effect, particularly at the start of the game.
THE £70M HOMECOMING: WHY MAN UNITED DREAM OF RE-SIGNING SERIE A MVP SCOTT MCTOMINAY
Manchester United wants Scott McTominay back! Discover the £70m price tag and why Tottenham is eyeing Michael Carrick for manager.
Manchester United want Scott McTominay back at Old Trafford, and it’s no secret what it’ll cost them. Meanwhile, Tottenham are eyeing a bold move for a new manager.
McTominay left United in August 2024, heading to Napoli for £25 million even though he’d just finished his best season yet, scoring some big goals and keeping Erik ten Hag in the job. Since then, he’s thrived in Italy. Last season, he helped Napoli win the Serie A title and even picked up the league’s MVP award. No wonder Premier League clubs are paying attention. United want him back, and they’re at the front of the queue.
The word from Italy is United “dream of a reunion. McTominay’s happy in Naples, but he’s got unfinished business at United and wants to prove his critics wrong. Napoli’s chief, Leonardo Giammarioli, admitted he’s worried about losing his star midfielder if a massive offer comes in. He even compared it to Nick Woltemade’s exit from Stuttgart.
Fraser Fletcher, our transfer guy, broke the story back in November that United and Arsenal are both looking at McTominay, and Spurs are interested too. But McTominay’s not leaving for just any club. He wants the right project. And it won’t be cheap. Napoli want at least €80m (£70m/$95m) if they’re going to let their 29-year-old star go.
For United, McTominay is one of several targets as they look to rebuild their midfield. Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and Adam Wharton are also on the list.
Now, about Michael Carrick: United loves what he’s done as interim boss. But they’re not the only ones. Graeme Bailey says Tottenham are seriously considering Carrick for their permanent manager job. Carrick played for both United and Spurs, and Tottenham already thought about him before hiring Thomas Frank last summer. His quick adjustment to Premier League management hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Spurs have brought in Igor Tudor as interim manager, but Carrick’s in the mix to take over this summer. Of course, it depends on whether United decide to keep him themselves. Sources say United are really impressed with his style and attitude, though they’re still weighing their options.
United aren’t just busy with managers; they’re scouting too. This weekend, they’ll have people watching Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco and Juventus’ Pierre Kalulu in the Derby d’Italia. Kalulu’s been all over the pitch for Juve, playing centre-back, right-back, and wing-back. Dimarco, on the other hand, has been electric for Inter at left wing-back, with six goals and 13 assists in 31 games. Both United and Arsenal are watching closely.
Dimarco might be easier to sign than Kalulu because of his contract. Inter want to extend his deal, but for now, it runs out in June 2027. United have been dreaming about him as their new left-back.
On another note, England rugby captain Maro Itoje spoke out against Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent comments on immigration. “I disagree with the terminology and sentiments of what he said,” Itoje told the BBC. “I do not believe that immigrants have colonised Great Britain. That’s just not true, and it’s the wrong thing to say.
“I’m a proud Londoner, proud to play for and captain England. That’s one of my greatest accomplishments. But I’m also of Nigerian descent, and I’m proud of that heritage too.
“Honestly, I think Ratcliffe’s wording was clumsy, and his numbers were wrong. I saw he apologised, and I respect people who can admit when they’ve messed up and say sorry. So, credit to him for that.”
STOPPAGE TIME SAVER: BENJAMIN SESKO RESCUES MICHAEL CARRICK’S UNBEATEN STREAK AT WEST HAM
Benjamin Sesko saved Manchester United with a 96th-minute flick after Tomas Soucek put West Ham ahead. Read the full 2026 report.
Manchester United left it late, grabbing a dramatic draw against West Ham at the London Stadium. Tomas Soucek seemed to have won it for the Hammers with his second-half goal, but Benjamin Sesko popped up in stoppage time with a clever finish to snatch a point for United, who’ve been on a good run. The first half really dragged. United couldn’t break West Ham down at all. Everyone in a claret shirt just sat deep. Luke Shaw came closest, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared his shot off the line.
After the break, things actually got interesting. Four minutes in, Soucek bundled one in from close range. Casemiro thought he’d levelled things up after an hour, but VAR ruled his header out for offside. Both teams had chances as the clock ran down, but it was Sesko who finally found the net deep into stoppage time, saving United right at the end.

Senne Lammens – 6
Came up big early to deny Summerville from a distance. No chance with Soucek’s goal.
Diogo Dalot – 4
Had a tough time with Summerville’s pace and kept giving the ball away. Picked up a needless yellow.
Lisandro Martínez – 6
Easily the most composed passer at the back, breaking lines a few times. Solid defensively for the most part.
Luke Shaw – 5
Almost scored in the first half, but his shot was cleared off the line. Then stepped out of position before Soucek’s goal, which cost United.
Casemiro – 7
Pretty solid in midfield—broke up play and timed his tackles well. Scored with a header, but it didn’t count.
Kobbie Mainoo – 6
Kept things ticking in the middle but couldn’t really hurt West Ham. Lost Soucek for the goal.
Amad – 5
Had a decent look before halftime but hit the side netting. Didn’t offer his usual spark.
Matheus Cunha – 4
Barely got involved. Dropped deep to get on the ball but didn’t do anything with it.
Bryan Mbeumo – 5
Ran hard, tracked back, and helped defensively, but didn’t threaten much in attack.
Joshua Zirkzee – 6
Came on for Maguire for the last 20 minutes and made a couple of crucial blocks as West Ham pressed for another.
Benjamin Sesko – 7
Subbed in for Cunha in the second half and poked home in stoppage time to grab United a point.
