Bruno Fernandes: Sesko makes major revelation about United skipper

Fernandes helping Sesko

Speaking to Sky Sports, Sesko revealed how Fernandes is helping him improve. He said: “I’m also getting a lot of instructions from Bruno. Every single training, after training, sometimes before training. Whatever he tells you, just do it, don’t think twice. And that’s what I said. I’m really grateful to have this opportunity to be around him.”

The Slovenian went on to tip Fernandes to win the Premier League Player of the Season award, adding: “He’s great. He’s my team-mate. And of course, always stand up [for my team-mates], yeah, he should win it.”

The Portuguese has set up four of Sesko’s nine goals in the Premier League this season.

Squad good enough to win trophies

United are set to end another season without trophies, although the recent upturn in form is likely to fill fans with hope. Sesko went on to claim that the current squad is good enough to lift silverware, adding: “I think we did great. Still, some games left, but I think we’re doing great.”

“We have a great spirit in the team. I’m learning a lot from the experience. We are here, great players, great coaching staff.”

“I would like to really achieve some trophies here. I think there would be something that we just can’t forget it, life at all. And of course, we need to do a lot for it, but I believe we have the capacity to do that.”

Final Thoughts

Fernandes has been indispensable for United since arriving from Sporting in January 2020, but Sesko’s words suggest that he also plays a major role behind the scenes. The Portuguese will enter the final year of his contract this summer but given his influence both on and off the pitch, perhaps the Red Devils should do everything possible to tie him down to a new deal.
