Bruno Fernandes is making his return.
The Portugal international has been essential for Manchester United since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020.
In 308 matches for United, Fernandes has scored 103 goals and provided 93 assists.
He has remained a bright spot during a challenging period for the club both on and off the pitch.
The 31-year-old last played for United in a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa on December 21, where he was limited to just 45 minutes due to a hamstring injury.
He has missed the last three matches for United.
Although the team hasn’t lost during this time, they have only secured one win from three matches.
A 1-0 victory against Newcastle United on Boxing Day was followed by a draw against bottom team Wolverhampton Wanderers, and another draw against Leeds United on Sunday.
Even without him, United made headlines recently when manager Ruben Amorim was dismissed after poor results and a fallout with Director of Football Jason Wilcox.
Reports indicate that Fernandes will be back in the squad for their Premier League match against Burnley.
He has trained with the team today.
United will welcome his return during a busy January schedule.
They face Burnley tomorrow, followed by an FA Cup match against Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend.
Upcoming matches against Arsenal and Manchester City await them, making Fernandes’s return important.
With United just three points from the top four, this part of the campaign is crucial as they aim to secure Champions League football at Old Trafford again.
