Bruno Fernandes Will Keep Penalty Duties at Manchester United
Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes will remain the primary penalty taker for Manchester United, despite having missed twice this season, according to coach Ruben Amorim.

In addition to his misses, Fernandes managed to convert a crucial penalty in the 3-2 victory over Burnley in August.Bruno Fernandes seguirá siendo la primera opción de Amorim para los penales.Amorim acknowledged that the situation is not easy for Fernandes, but highlighted his confidence and dedication in training.
