Sun Mar 16 18:20:00 UTC 2025: **Leicester City Boss Praises Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes Ahead of Crucial Clash**
LEICESTER – Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has heaped praise on Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, stating that the Portuguese star would have been an asset to any of United’s greatest teams. Van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United striker himself, worked alongside Fernandes during his brief stint as assistant and interim manager at Old Trafford last year.
The two will reunite on Sunday when Manchester United face a struggling Leicester side battling relegation. Leicester currently sits nine points from safety with only ten games remaining in the Premier League season. Despite the looming threat of relegation, Van Nistelrooy highlighted Fernandes’s exceptional qualities. “It’s the quality, it’s the character, it’s the work rate, it’s the discipline. That’s the full package,” he said.
While acknowledging Fernandes’ importance to Manchester United, Van Nistelrooy’s immediate focus remains on Leicester’s perilous position. A recent 2-1 victory for Wolves over Southampton has further complicated Leicester’s chances of survival. “Of course, I have other things on my mind,” he admitted. “We are still in it. We are still in this fight.” He emphasized the team’s determination to fight for survival in the remaining ten games.
