'I'm telling you': Ian Wright says £48m Man Utd player will be 'unbelievable' under Ruben Amorim
Today at 06:45 AM
The Ruben Amorim era at Manchester United didn't get off to the best of starts.
Indeed, a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town isn't the fairytale beginning that anyone had in mind for the new Manchester United boss, but there were some bright signs during this game.
United went 1-0 up in less than two minutes thanks to a Marcus Rashford goal, and while the Red Devils ultimately couldn't hold on to secure a win, there were some solid performances on the day.
Speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show, Ian Wright has been reviewing this performance, and he's tipped Bruno Fernandes to seriously kick on from here, claiming that he saw signs that the United captain could really improve under Amorim.
Bruno Fernandes tipped to improve under Ruben Amorim
Wright spoke about how the £48m man may improve under Amorim.
Of course, as a fellow Portuguese and a former Sporting player, Amorim and Fernandes already have some sort of connection, and Wright reckons Amorim will get the best out of Fernandes.
"Can I say something though in respects to Bruno Fernandes. He's going to be even better. He's going to be unbelievable, even seeing it in flashes, he was picking up the ball and he had options, I'm telling you, once he gets the right players, we're going to see something," Wright said.
Which other Manchester United players could improve?
Fernandes has been tipped to improve under Amorim, but if United are to come close to achieving their goals this season.
United currently sit 12th in the Premier League, and, quite simply, that isn't good enough.

Luckily, as Wright says, there are some bright sparks under the new manager, and according to Owen Hargreaves, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho should also improve under Amorim.
Of course, whether or not that prediction turns out to be true remains to be seen, but there's certainly a more positive feeling around Old Trafford right now than there has been in recent months.
Amorim wasn't happy with certain players at the weekend, and with just over a month until the January transfer window, a number of United's stars may well be playing for their futures.
There’s going to be plenty of change at Old Trafford in the coming months as Amorim will want to stamp his authority at his new club as soon as possible.
