Bruno Fernandes is set to return to Manchester United earlier than anticipated following his contributions to Portugal’s UEFA Nations League campaign. Fernandes scored and played the full 90 minutes in Portugal’s commanding 5-1 victory over Poland, a result that secured Portugal’s top spot in League A, Group 1, and guaranteed their place in the Nations League finals.
Portugal’s qualification, combined with the outcome of Croatia’s loss to Scotland, allowed their head coach Roberto Martínez to release several key players, including Fernandes, from international duty early. This decision comes as a boost for Manchester United’s new head coach Ruben Amorim, who will now have additional time to prepare with his club captain ahead of United’s upcoming fixtures.
