The expectations are high for anyone who steps foot as a member of the Manchester United football club. The same can be applied to newly acquired Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes.

The rich history of the team has been through significant moments in the sport’s records that players are anticipated to live up to the name that the organization brings. In the case of standout Fernandes, he is anticipated to step up for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s lineup in a much higher role.

The first choice for the penalty is usually reserved for offensive stars that can be relied on to bring their team to victory. This stature is associated with big names such as Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial who have been veterans of the club. Stepping up to penalty shootouts involves a lot of pressure as it gives an opportunity for a team to take some points in the standings.

Per Red Devil Armada, Manchester United has found themselves in the most penalty situations with 10 in the Premier League. With the games returning next week, it won’t be far off that Solskjaer is looking to make changes in his strategy. It is speculated that Fernandes is groomed to be the Red Devil’s number one choice when it comes to taking the penalties.

The 25-year-old has been one of the more prominent players in Manchester United ever since joining the squad earlier this year. In nine games with the team, he has already scored on three separate occasions and has tallied a total of four assists. The two-time Footballer of the year is ready to live up to his big five-and-a-half-year contract with the club

There’s no question that Fernandes’ skillset are phenomenal. The way he moves around the field is considered elite and is one of the best offensive players in the game. Having him as Solskjaer’s first option gives Manchester United a bright look at the future of the club.

It will be interesting to see how the Old Trafford-based club moves forward in the coming few days. Given that games are slowly returning, having someone of Fernandes’ caliber is something to be excited about for the organization.
