Bruno Fernandes reaffirmed his significant value at Manchester United this season after returning to his natural position as an advanced playmaker behind the forwards, a role that allowed him to regain his substantial attacking influence.

The Portuguese player, who turned 32, has remained one of the club's brightest highlights despite years of technical and administrative turmoil, continuing to deliver world-class performances with the team.

Fernandez had previously been forced to play deeper midfield roles due to tactical choices by former coach Ruben Amorim, which reduced his attacking threat and burdened him with defensive duties that did not suit his style.

However, after Michael Carrick took over the coaching role, he was returned to the number 10 position and given the freedom to move between the lines, which restored his ability to create opportunities and score goals regularly.

The numbers indicate a clear impact of his return to this role, as he was at the heart of everything the team offered offensively, with a significant contribution in creating chances and goals in recent times.

The player also contributed to creating a large number of opportunities this season, making him one of the most impactful players in the English Premier League in the final third of the pitch.

Fernandez's proximity to the goal is key to Manchester United's success, as he can utilize his passing, shooting, and intelligent movement inside the box, making him once again the focal point of the team's attacking project.

With his return to his preferred position, it seems that the team has regained some of its offensive identity that it had been missing in recent periods.
