To ease the strain of pressure on Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United’s squad needs to step up on the pitch, Luke Shaw agrees.
Since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Fernandes has quickly established himself as one of England’s form players.
The midfielder has been prolific in terms of goals and assists, though there have also been calls for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to hand him the captain’s armband.
But the imaginative inspiration of Fernandes could not overcome the frailties of United, and Shaw admitted to Sky Sports that United was in danger of becoming too dependent on the Portugal international.
