'Little bit tired': Fernandes makes feelings clear after Amorim forms leadership council

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has welcomed a major change made by manager Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese head coach revealed that he now has a six-man leadership group that includes Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot and Tom Heaton.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Fernandes admitted: “That is something I was doing in the past, but it got to a point where my voice got a little bit tired for them because I was always the same one talking.

“But now, having the chance to have another five players with me talking will make things different.”

United will face Arsenal at Old Trafford tomorrow in their opening Premier League encounter.

Accountability is crucial to getting United back

Fernandes is spot on with his comments. True leadership thrives when many voices unite to drive standards higher.

A fiery captain by nature, Fernandes often shows visible frustration when things go against his plan.

Sharing that load will free him to focus on dictating games rather than carrying the entire dressing room.

Maguire is a fantastic example of how to win over the support of the fans after two difficult seasons.

The 32-year-old was on the brink of an Old Trafford exit, but he opted to stay and fight for his place.

That belief is obvious in the way he barks instructions and marshals the backline with authority.

Mazraoui and Dalot bring ice-cool composure, while Martinez remains a warrior and fan favourite.

Heaton is a seasoned team player and will bring experience to the leadership group.

Player power has clouded United’s dressing room dynamics for far too long.

Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho have all faced the axe from the team due to disciplinary issues over the last two seasons.

Amorim’s decision to form the leadership council signals a culture reset, focusing on accountability on and off the field.
