Manchester United have suffered a great deal in their quest to win a trophy this season as they lost 3-1 at Leicester City to a tie, including a brace from Kelechi Iheanacho and the attack by Youri Tielemans was good enough to bring the Red Devils '28 - the unbeaten domestic game to an end. Mason Greenwood scored a goal for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
One of the key points after the game was choosing the team for the day. Solskjaer decided to release club talisman, Bruno Fernandes, starting at XI.
DONT MISS:
Now, we know he played a lot of football during the season and needed rest. But if the FA quarter-final against one of the best teams in England right now, a good time to give it a break.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Solskjaer described his decision:
"Every team pick has a reason behind him and Bruno has played a lot of football. On Thursday night he broke all his records off the body, according to statistics. And the boy is not a person, he is also a person.
DONT MISS:
"He played every three or four days and it was time to start both Donny and Paul, but a lot of games might catch up with us. Bruno wants to play and sometimes you decide to get benefit from the team. "
The Europa League is now more important for Manchester United
It is understood that Solskjaer would like to rest Fernandes. And recent games are a big reason why Portuguese players do not have more time off than a few weeks.
The Red Devils have faced AC Milan twice, Manchester City, and West Ham United in their last four matches. Every aspect of the tournament is significant, with a huge impact on the club season.
With Paul Pogba back in the squad, the manager may think he can afford Fernandes to relax. In the end, he was not the Manchester United star and they got the win by a very good team in the form of Leicester City. But Solskjaer should not violate his decision.
This is just football and we need to focus on the future now. We head for an international break from here before the Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion in April. The Europa League is also even more important now in their quest to bring the trophy of the season.
