"I think it's soft tissue [Fernandes' injury], so it's going to be a while. We'll see. It is really strange. During this year, especially at this time, we have so many problems, but we have to cope with that. I think [Jack] Fletcher did his first game, so that is good news. [Shea] Lacey the same, so we will try to find solutions and go to the next game."
"I am a manager for six years, and even Sporting [CP] is all about the academy, so it's about the history. Every manager wants to bring players through from the academy and not spend money because this gives value to the manager. I just want to win and want to be certain that the players that come in from the academy are not going to suffer too much. I'm just trying to help the club; it doesn't matter if it's from the academy or abroad."
Manchester United lost 2-1 to Aston Villa, with Morgan Rogers scoring twice and Matheus Cunha netting United's stoppage-time first-half goal. Bruno Fernandes pulled up holding his hamstring and was substituted at half-time, raising concern over a soft-tissue injury that could sideline him for an extended period. Lisandro Martinez filled a makeshift midfield role in the second half as United coped with absences. Jack Fletcher and Shea Lacey made appearances, offering some squad relief. Ruben Amorim emphasized reliance on academy talent and the need to find solutions amid a congested fixture period and multiple player absences.
