Bruno Fernandez broke down in tears after Club doctor confirmed that Two Man United key players will be Out of Arsenal clash on Sunday

“I Tried Not to Cry, but This Is Too Much” – Bruno Fernandes in Tears After Manchester United’s Devastating Setback Before Arsenal Clash

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has left fans in shock after breaking down at Carrington when the club doctor confirmed a crushing blow: two of United’s key players will miss Sunday’s showdown with Arsenal at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese playmaker, usually admired for his fierce determination and refusal to show weakness, couldn’t contain his emotions this time. “I’m not supposed to cry, but with everything at stake, I can’t hold it back… Losing two of our most important players right before Arsenal feels unbearable. They’ll use this to beat us again at home,” Fernandes admitted, his voice cracking inside the dressing room.

The news has sent United supporters into turmoil. What was billed as a chance for Erik ten Hag’s men to silence critics after a rocky start has now spiraled into crisis less than two days before kickoff.

Insiders have revealed that the sidelined players are Lisandro Martínez and Rasmus Højlund. Martínez, the fearless defender and vocal leader at the back, has suffered a muscle setback, while Højlund, United’s main striker and only consistent attacking outlet in recent weeks, was ruled out after a knock in training.

The timing couldn’t be worse. Arsenal, riding high after consecutive victories, head to Old Trafford with momentum and confidence. Without Martínez, United’s fragile defense looks exposed against the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. And without Højlund, Fernandes himself must carry the creative and goal-scoring burden – a task he admitted feels “almost impossible against a team like Arsenal.”

For Fernandes, this is personal. He has dragged United through adversity countless times, but the prospect of facing Arsenal under such circumstances left him visibly broken. Witnesses described him sitting silently in the dressing room, wiping away tears before murmuring: “This was supposed to be our moment. Now it feels like we’ve already lost.”

United’s injury woes have become a grim theme of their season, with Ten Hag constantly forced to reshuffle his side. Fans fear that this latest blow could hand Arsenal a comfortable win and widen the gap between the two clubs.

Sunday’s clash, once billed as a statement game, now feels more like a battle for survival. Still, many supporters have rallied behind their captain, urging the team to fight on with pride, even against the odds.

One fan summed it up on social media: “If Bruno is crying, then we really are in trouble. But if he’s still on the pitch, maybe – just maybe – a miracle can happen.”

Now, all eyes turn to Old Trafford: will Bruno Fernandes transform his heartbreak into inspiration, or will Arsenal exploit United’s weakness to claim another crushing victory?
