Bruno Fernandes\u2019 captaincy credentials at Manchester United have come to the fore once again in a positive message in a sea of change at the club.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s<\/a> \u2018changes at the club\u2019 warning has not yet materialised quite as expected, as Man Utd<\/a> have failed to move in the transfer market. <\/p>\n

However, that hasn\u2019t stopped the club from continuing to revamp its operations off the field in a bid to become, in Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s words, \u2018best in class\u2019. <\/p>\n

One such change has received full backing from captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, who has predicted great things for them in the future. <\/p>\n

Man Utd\u2019s academy has undergone massive changes this summer, a result of the setup succeeding in the youth circuit. <\/p>\n

It started with the departure of Adam Lawrence<\/a>, the U18s manager who oversaw a dominating era of U18 football at Carrington. <\/p>\n

Soon after, Nick Cox, the director of the academy and the man credited with revamping the approach at youth level, was poached by Everton for a higher role<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It paved the way for United to appoint Darren Fletcher<\/a> as the manager of the U18s, a role he takes up after being a part of the first team\u2019s coaching setup for a while. <\/p>\n

Fletcher\u2019s appointment has gone down well, and he started off his tenure with a swashbuckling 8-2 win against QPR<\/a>. He has now received an endorsement from the club captain.<\/p>\n

Fernandes wrote about Fletcher on Instagram: \u201cTop class as a person and a well deserved new role that suits him and will bring loads of success to the youth of the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"BrunoBruno Fernandes\u2019 message for Darren Fletcher on Instagram after Fletcher\u2019s appointment as Man Utd 18s managerFletcher\u2019s role comes with huge expectations<\/p>\n

Unlike the first team, where Ruben Amorim had a bit of a free hit, at least in 2024\/25, Fletcher is taking over a setup that has been dominating the youth circuit. <\/p>\n

The need at the U18s level is more about development than results, but the duo of Cox and Lawrence was managing to do both in an equally convincing manner. <\/p>\n

United have a precocious crop of youngsters<\/a> that will need proper guidance on and off the pitch, and as someone who has walked the same path as they hope to, Fletcher is uniquely positioned to help.<\/p>\n

He takes on huge expectations because there\u2019s no rebuilding work to be done. It was taken care of by Cox and Co. Instead, he faces the challenge of keeping a good thing going, and if possible, improving on it. <\/p>\n

The 8-2 win over QPR is certainly a start, and he clearly has backers at Old Trafford who want him to succeed. The expectations are huge, but there isn\u2019t a better man to try and live up to them. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruno Fernandes\u2019 captaincy credentials at Manchester United have come to the fore once again in a positive message…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[13138,13139,403,99],"class_list":["post-13586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bruno-fernandes","tag-darren-fletcher","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
