Fernandes approves as United make special announcement ahead of Leeds clash
Manchester United have made a special announcement ahead of this eveningās meeting with Leeds United, which has received the support of Bruno Fernandes.
United are finally set to return to action after a 24-day break, with their previous outing being the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on 20 March.
Michael Carrick and his players remain firmly on track for Champions League qualification, and a win over Leeds would tighten their grip further, especially with Aston Villa and Chelsea both dropping points over the weekend.
United have announced that fansā group, The Red Army, have introduced a flag display across the Stretford End lower tier as part of its continuous efforts to enhance the atmosphere inside Old Trafford.
Itās understood that the Leeds game will see 180 flags in tier one and, for the first time ever, 120 flags across tier two. Additionally, the flag display will include a massive banner, roughly the same size as The Red Armyās eagle in tier twoās central area.
United have confirmed that the display has been completely designed and funded by supporters and members of The Red Army.
Reacting to the development, Fernandes gave his nod of approval, while also joking that he hadnāt noticed a flag honouring him.
He said, āIāve seen ā obviously we know it before the game, we can see that. I think it brings a very nice atmospheric vibe to the stands.ā
The skipper continued, āEvery player that looks up to that sees that itās not changed the way they support us, but it gives you a lot of nice feelings, seeing that side of the stadium is full of flags for some players.ā
āI havenāt seen if there are any for me or not, I donāt try to see if thereās something for me [laughs].ā
When it was put to Fernandes that there is indeed a flag for him, he remarked, āIām not sure! It is fun, I just enjoy to see these kinds of things. Iāve been a fan myself. Iāve been in that type of occasion and I really like it.ā
āI think it gives a lot of energy and I think for us to see that, and for certain players to have their own flag, if they acknowledge that then I think it gives them an extra motivation for the game.ā
United vs. Leeds kicks off at 8pm.
