@joshplume Oh wow! What a dream

Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes.

I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United.

But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it.

Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season.

He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals.

So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know.

Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve.

And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football.

We spoke about:

- Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams.
- How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails.
- Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary!
- His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege.
- His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager.
- Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism.

When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards.

The standards he holds himself to.
The standards he expects from teammates.
The standards he believes define culture.

I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project.

I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable.

Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.

🚨 Kobbie Mainoo set to be named in England squad for World Cup but Phil Foden misses out. Tino Livramento + Noni Madueke also expected to be included but no Levi Colwill despite injury return & anticipated Luke Shaw will not make #ENG group @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/xXJtFuqlOH

[Alex Turk @TurkTalksFC]

No Harry Maguire in the England squad is just COMPLETELY ridiculous. You don’t need United bias to know that.

Are we really taking Colwill, Stones or Quansah ahead of him? REALLY?

[Connor Bacon @_connorbacon]

Nah Maguire not being in the England squad is a disgrace

It was a beautiful scene at Old Trafford yesterday ❤️
One of those moments that reminds you why football means so much.
Easily one of the best videos from yesterday.

[Casemiro @Casemiro]

There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.

To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.

Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.

Forever a Red Devil ❤️
