After leading Manchester United to a 2-0 victory against Arsenal in a friendly match, Bruno Fernandes, the newly appointed captain, expressed his pride in being given the armband. The Portugal midfielder, who scored United's opening goal, is confident that the team will rise to the occasion and deliver an impressive performance throughout the season. Jadon Sancho's contribution, with the second goal, further highlighted United's promising win.
Fernandes expressed his utmost commitment to leading United to success in the upcoming campaign when questioned about the captaincy. He also shared his thoughts on why he believed Ten Hag had selected him to replace Maguire but admitted that he had not received any confirmation regarding the decision.
The manager desired to deliver the news to the team collectively. Being the captain of Manchester United is a significant milestone in my career; however, there is a substantial amount of work that awaits me now. The manager's decision was based on my performance last season and the rapport we had established.
"He liked the way I work, my discipline, everything I give, my passion, everything I give, so I don't see why I should change.
"(The approach) will be the same. I don't need to change anything.

"My approach is to be authentic and genuine as much as possible. The team is well aware of my communicative nature, and my willingness to establish open and transparent relationships with everyone. I strive to provide assistance in the manner I believe is most effective."
Sometimes, I may make mistakes and not necessarily choose the optimal approach, but those who truly know me are aware that I will wholeheartedly dedicate myself for their sake.
Every word of encouragement I offer stems from my belief in their capability to achieve greatness, given their influential presence within the team.
Looking back on the previous season, where United secured a third-place finish in the Premier League, emerged victorious in the Carabao Cup, and faced defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup final, Fernandes expressed the belief that there is a foundation to build upon. However, he emphasized that it is now imperative for United to demonstrate their stature as a prominent team.
"We had a highly commendable season," he remarked. "While not ultimately triumphant, I consider our season to have been strong.
We made a wrong start, with two poor results in our away games which did not yield the desired outcomes. However, I believe that despite these setbacks, the overall performance of the season was positive. It is important to note that this was the manager's inaugural season as well as the debut season for several players.
"Now we know that we have to improve game-wise and we will. We will improve it and we will show that we are a big team.
"Manchester United have to fight for everything. This club deserves that.
Ten Hag "really pleased" with performance vs Arsenal
When you join a club of this caliber, you must be prepared to fiercely compete for every trophy in which you are involved. Our prime objective is to strive relentlessly, giving our all to emerge victorious in each and every game we partake in. That's our sole purpose.

Following the triumph over Arsenal, head coach Ten Hag expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Ten Hag expressed his satisfaction with United's performance, highlighting their activity both on and off the ball. This was evident in their consecutive victories against Leeds and Lyon, and it further demonstrates their progress. The upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund during their US tour will provide a challenging test for the team.
"That's the style of play we aim for, and it's the only time of the year when we can freely apply our training methods in games without facing any repercussions. Nonetheless, our ultimate goal remains victory, and the team demonstrated their capable performance during the match."

"Of course, they are all great games [on this tour]. We have to go and it helps us to progress and especially those opponents, they are good.
Arsenal is a formidable opponent, showcasing an outstanding performance in the previous Premier League season. Therefore, facing them in a match will undoubtedly enhance your skills.
"It's absolutely fantastic," expressed the Dutchman in an interview with MUTV. "Manchester United has built a reputation for nurturing young talents, and it's something that can definitely be achieved. However, we need to remain cautious and observe how things develop.
"We have complete faith in him; he's showcasing great confidence and his performances have been truly impressive. Unfortunately, during this year, he displayed his prowess during the spring but unfortunately suffered an injury. Nonetheless, we are genuinely thrilled with his progress."
We currently have a larger group of young players who are performing exceptionally well. However, it is important not to set unrealistically high expectations.
We need to evaluate the situation carefully. The Premier League is incredibly challenging, but it is evident that we possess a number of talented young players who can contribute to the team. Nevertheless, the standards are set very high.
