Bruno Fernandes has four assists this season but is yet to score after signing a new Man United contract last month.
The likelihood is the Manchester United squad against Tottenham will be the same 20 players who disembarked the team coach at Selhurst Park last week. The line-up is unlikely to be the same.
Fernandes looks understandably fatigued. It has been coming. He made 64 appearances for United and Portugal last season after 74 in 2022-23. "Bruno, clearly, had an unbelievable season," United sporting director Dan Ashworth said at the start of the month. "He’s been brilliant since he’s been here, his game availability is fantastic - I hope I haven’t jinxed that yet - his output is brilliant, his output on and off the pitch is really good as well.
Other than a talismanic second half performance against Manchester City at Wembley, Fernandes has not reached the heights of last season when he regained the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year statue. The most effective performance by a United No.10 this season was arguably Mason Mount's 45 minutes at Brighton. That made Mount's half-time withdrawal particularly ill-timed but his lay-off was one of his shortest since joining United.
