Darren Fletcher has revealed that he “didn’t want” to substitute Bruno Fernandes during his side’s 2-2 draw with Burnley, but said he needed to because of the Manchester United captain’s recent injury woes.

Despite his abrupt dismissal from Manchester United in 2022, it's reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on a return to Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim was sacked on Monday, leading the club's top brass to appoint Darren Fletcher as interim manager while they evaluate potential permanent replacements.

Bruno Fernandes is set to return from injury when Manchester United face Burnley on Wednesday in their first game since head coach Ruben Amorim was sacked. Former United midfielder Darren Fletcher is taking charge of the game as interim coach and he confirmed that the captain is in contention to play for the first time after suffering a muscle injury at Aston Villa on December 21.

Reacting on Instagram, Fernandes has posted a 13-word message to Amorim, thanking him and his coaching staff for his 14-month spell at Old Trafford.

Some clarity on Fernandes’s recovery has now come to light. The Times are one of several outlets to report that the midfielder’s ailment is not as bad as first feared and the club are thought to be “confident” that he will be fit in time for the meeting with Manchester City on Jan. 17.

Bruno Fernandes has been having a Premier League Player of the Season caliber season, but that show has hit an intermission thanks to a Sunday injury.

Al Hilal are lining up a £100 million ($135.1 million) offer for Bruno Fernandes this January. If Manchester United were to accept this bid, which is eminently more likely after Ruben Amorim’s exit, the club captain would surpass Cristiano Ronaldo as United’s most expensive sale of all time.
