Manchester Utd had a tough 2024/25 season this term. However, Bruno Fernandes again proved his worth with an great return of 19 goals and 19 assists in 57 games.
Although, the Red Devils offered nothing in a season of setbacks. But, the skipper represented a bright light and was the standout performer. Bruno was the rare performer on a team that struggled to find consistency in their midfield. Utd’s poor midfield too often hid behind his top form. But, they were rarely hard to see.
Christian Eriksen and Casemiro seemed off the pace, they were showing signs of age. Meanwhile, Mason Mount struggled with injuries all season. Promising youngster Kobbie Mainoo couldn’t match the heights of his breakthrough year. And Manuel Ugarte looked lost trying to adapt to the Premier League.
Nadiem Amiri Seen as Cut-Price Bruno Alternative
Man Utd may have found a smart and affordable option in Germany’s Nadiem Amiri. He played big role in his club’s good league campaign this term. The club has earned a spot in Europe as well. He bagged 8 goals in 31 appearances for the side. He was included in the Bundesliga Team of the Season too.
His creativity and ability to link up play caught the eyes of analysts. The DataMB has ranked him among the top five players most similar to Bruno Fernandes. As per Manchester Evening News, Utd have been urged to consider Amiri. He carries a price tag of just £17m. That is real bargain in today’s market.
Ruben Amorim could use his attacking threat and sharp passing to relieve some pressure off Fernandes next season. If United want to strengthen without overspending, Amiri might just be a great fit.
