With the transfer window now on the horizon, Ian Wright seemed to send a subtle hint to the former Clubarsenal when he had sustained the value of Manchester United's Star Man Bruno Fernandes
Ian Wright has admitted that he would like to have the Captain Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United in Arsenal. Fernandes, 30, has worn the bracelet for the Red Devils in a campaign that has been terrible in their own country, but still offers the opportunity for European silverware.
Although United could still get qualification for the Champions League by beating Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, Arsenal will have to accept another campaign without a large trophy.
With the season that will soon end, attention is focused on the transfer window, where Arsenal is about to sign the real Sociedad -midfielder Martin Zubimendi, with a movement for sporty CP striker Viktor Gyokeres also possible on the maps. Wright, who previously defended Fernandes against a Roy Keane attack, would be in the clouds to see his former side focus their attention on the Portugal International.
While he spoke to football podcast on the stick, Wright said: “I wish we had Bruno Fernandes. I wish we had Bruno. I would like him at Arsenal.”
The former Gunners striker repeatedly defended the united skipper when Keane has unleashed him. After the newest defense of Wright on the Podcast last month, the ex-sized skipper said: “Ah Wrighty, I had had enough of that waste!
“You look at United every week, we focus more on United. Sit down and watch a game with him! People pretend they are closing people.
“Talent is not enough! You keep going back to talent – Bruno is a talented player, but it's not enough! With whom were you in the dressing room with, Tony Adams! Tony Adams, that was Tony Adams that because he was a hunter!
“You have young players who have to look at someone and go:” I like what he does. ” They can't put the ball in the top of the net from 25 meters, I understand that, but you want someone who goes, “guys, are you with me?”
Wright said Keane that comparing modern captains such as Fernandes with Adams is not useful and says: “Perhaps he is not that kind of captain, Roy, I am with you, but what he does with regard to … you save that pass, the goal. If Bruno is not there, United is in degradation.”
Despite the admiration of Wright from Fernandes, it is unlikely that the Gunners would focus on a movement for him. Arteta already has club captain Martin Odegaard in the position of Fernandes, while Declan Rice is encouraged to plunder more often.
The potential arrival of Zubimendi would only encourage the aforementioned duo to take more forward positions, while Kai Havertz also has more opportunities to play behind a striker when the Gunners sign a center-forward such as Gyokees. Moreover, the chances that United does business with Arsenal for a player who is so important as Fernandes is also very unlikely.
The deal on the silky playmaker ends in the summer of 2027, but there seems to be no sign that he agites for a move from Old Trafford. However, reports from the daily star at the end of March claimed that Real Madrid was interested in the midfielder and is considering a £ 90 million shock.
If United loses the final in Bilbao on Wednesday, then Fernandes, who has been in the club since January 2020, will have to face the reality of another season without Champions League football, despite his undoubtedly quality. Although the season has been bad for United, he still contributed 19 goals and 19 assists in all competitions.
The songs of the former sporting midfielder are much superior to those of Odegaard, who has difficulty replicating his versions of the 2023/24 campaign. The Norwegian has only managed five goals and 11 assists compared to last year's record of 11 goals and 12 assists.
