MU is My Dream: Bruno. GOD55

Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to Portuguese media this week, discussing a wide range of subjects as the midfielder reflects on his recent move from Sporting to Manchester United in the English Premier League.

In an interview with Canal 11, Fernandes talked about his early impressions of English football and the attention given to his transfer fee, while also remembering his best moments in his homeland at Alvalade.

Fernandes has proved a major success in a short space of time at Old Trafford, with universal acclaim for his performances during his nine appearances so far. The 25-year-old has three goals and four assists so far, but Fernandes admits the pace and competitiveness of English football has been a challenge to overcome

"English football is very different from all the others,” he said. “In Portugal, small teams usually shut up. Here teams do not shut up when they come to play at Old Trafford. They want to press, score goals, take risks, even knowing that United can recover the ball and score on the counterattack. The intensity is really high. If in Portugal I thought I was thinking fast, here I have to think twice as fast.”

“It is difficult to compare football now with the old days. The numbers are always just numbers. Regardless of what they paid for me, whether it’s millions or hundreds, I have to do my best and give the maximum I can. It’s not because they paid millions that I have to do more. The fact you want to give more should come from within you, not because of what’s been paid.”

Fernandes is the sixth Portuguese to play for United, with Ronaldo (292 apps) and Nani (230 apps) the most prevalent having helped the club win the Champions League in 2008. For Fernandes, his attachment to United goes back to that period, when he was in the academy of Boavista during his early teenage years.

“Manchester was the dream club for me,” he says. “My brother was a huge fan of Barcelona and I was a fan of Manchester. Once we went to spend Christmas in Switzerland, where my father worked. We went to a sports store, my brother bought a Barcelona top and got one of Manchester. At the time I was playing for the youth team of Boavista. I dreamed of this, but dreaming of it and being here is completely different.

“Signing for Manchester was the same feeling as when I signed for Sporting in Portugal: the dream of playing for a major club in Portugal, of being in the Premier League, of representing the best English club in recent years. Coming to a club that hasn't won in a while but is hungry to win, is what a player needs.

“Having names like Cristiano and Nani, who won great trophies here, makes me want to try to have those achievements as well. Nani, with whom I had the opportunity to work with at Sporting, always spoke very well of Manchester to me. And the fact that Cristiano gave good references to people who were asking about me before my signing, makes me proud of what I have been doing.”

You keep on going Bruno!!
