Amorim: Fernandes is indispensable to the team, and we need to sell some players

Rubén Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, held a press conference ahead of the anticipated match against Fulham in the Round of 16 of the 2025 FA Cup, which will take place on Sunday, March 2, at Old Trafford.

Amorim confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho is suffering from a minor bruise but will be ready to participate against Fulham normally.

Amorim commented on the statements of former star Roy Keane, who criticized the team's captain Bruno Fernandes, saying: "I have a different opinion; Bruno is a very important player for me and performs well despite the difficult circumstances. He always takes responsibility; in the end, my opinion as the coach of the team is more important than Keane's opinion."

The coach revealed that Patrick Dorgu feels frustrated after the red card he received in the Ipswich match, but he emphasized his future importance to the team.

Amorim explained that the club needs to sell some players before making any new signings during the summer.

Amorim defended the team's goalkeeper André Onana, saying: "Onana has made great saves and has rescued us many times, but it is normal for him to struggle at times. There are several players facing issues with maintaining consistency; we need to support him and forget the past, focusing on the future."
