Bruno Fernandes’s match-winning performance against Sheffield United appears even more remarkable given that he was playing with a broken hand. Erik ten Hag revealed on Tuesday that Fernandes was a doubt for the match at Old Trafford after injuring his hand in a fall during the FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City three days before.
It is understood that Fernandes broke his right hand during the match against Coventry but still insisted on playing against Sheffield United.
The gesture was well received within the club, where he is viewed as a resilient character and inspirational leader. United refused to comment on the extent of Fernandes’s injury on Thursday, stressing that it was a matter of confidentiality.
