Bruno Fernandes has spent much of this season looking like a lone conductor in a very confused orchestra — waving his baton while the brass section forgets their notes. According to sources, Manchester United might finally fix that discord with Yegor Yarmoliuk, the €21 million Brentford midfielder who’s quietly outperforming some of Europe’s flashier names.
At just 21, Yarmoliuk is the kind of player who doesn’t just chase the ball — he stalks it, tackles it, and then politely hands it to Bruno, saying, “You handle the magic, I’ll handle the mess.” That’s precisely what United need — a player who can stabilize chaos while letting their captain play his natural creative game.
Why Bruno Fernandes and Yarmoliuk make tactical poetry
Let’s face it: Casemiro, bless him, now turns like an oil tanker. Bruno Fernandes, meanwhile, thrives when he’s not babysitting defensive duties. Yarmoliuk’s arrival could be the tactical equivalent of noise-canceling headphones — removing the static so Bruno can finally orchestrate symphonies again.
According to sources, both Manchester United and Tottenham have been circling the Ukrainian, but United’s need is existential. Ruben Amorim wants midfield energy, not nostalgia. Yarmoliuk provides the legs, lungs, and logic United’s midfield has been missing since, well, forever.
Author’s opinion: Fernandes deserves this break
It’s about time Manchester United stopped treating Bruno Fernandes like a one-man rescue mission. Yarmoliuk isn’t a headline hog; he’s a glue guy — the type every great team secretly relies on. At €21m, he’s the rare Premier League bargain who can elevate Bruno’s game and restore United’s midfield dignity.
If the Red Devils are serious about rebirth under Amorim, they should stop dreaming of overpriced fantasy signings and start signing footballers who actually run. In Yarmoliuk, they might just find their missing heartbeat.If they’re smart, they’ll sprint. If they’re very smart, they’ll sprint — fast.
