Bruno Fernandes had asked Solskjaer to change tactics in the middle of the game

DBasia.news – Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes reportedly asked his coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to change tactics in the middle of the match against Atalanta. Fernandes thinks he could have gone all out if he played a little towards the back.

Manchester United performed poorly in the first half when they hosted Atalanta, in the middle of this week. In the duel Champions League group stage, the Red Devils lost 2-0 in the first round. The visitors took the lead thanks to goals from Mario Articleic and Merih Demiral.

According to The Sun, during a break in the locker room, Fernandes asked Solskjaer to change tactics. Fernandes wanted to play deeper and be involved in passing the ball.

As a result, the tactic showed results when Fernandes’ pass cut through Atalanta’s defense and was completed by Marcus Rashford for a goal. Then, Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo each scored a goal and made Man United comeback 3-2. With that result, Man United are entrenched at the top of Group F standings.

Unfortunately, after the match, Bruno Fernandes was reported to have suffered an injury in a training session. In fact, on Sunday (24/10), Man United will face a strong opponent, Liverpool.

“Maybe I’m without two or three players. Yes, maybe Fernandes is one of them who is in doubt. However, he did everything to be able to appear,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as reported by the Daily Mail.
