"We had Bruno and he solved the problem," Ruben Amorim mused after Manchester United drew Arsenal at Old Trafford.

In the Premier League this season Manchester United have drawn seven games. Those have been against some of the biggest teams in the league such as Liverpool, Chelsea, and most recently Arsenal. They even beat reigning champions Manchester City in December, however, they still sit 14th in the league.

After the 1-1 against Arsenal, coach Ruben Amorim identified a Manchester United rising star amid Lisandro Martinez's absence due to injury.

Manchester United fans deserve better from the team, manager Ruben Amorim said following their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Sunday after the day started with a protest from several thousand supporters outside Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim said Manchester United "need more Brunos" after captain Bruno Fernandes scored a first-half free kick and almost netted a late winner in a 1-1 Premier League draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The 1958 group called for matchgoers to march to Old Trafford at 3pm and wear black to mark how, in their words, the club is "slowly dying".

Amorim has assured the club's supporters that playing defensive football is not his aim and that, in time, his team's style will evolve
