  "account": "Manchester United have received a clearer indication about Bruno Fernandes' injury status from Portugal. Initially, Portugal's national team boss Jorge Jesus indicated that the Manchester United captain had injured himself and was unable to play against Norway. However, recent reports suggest that Fernandes may have injured himself during a match and had been playing through the pain ever since. This news has raised concerns among United fans, as the team faces a challenging period without their creative force.\n\nInterestingly, it has been reported that Fernandes trained with the Portugal national team on Monday at Eleda Stadion in Malmö, Sweden, and completed the entire session normally. This development brings relief to United fans and the club, as it indicates that the midfielder is fit to face Denmark after missing the game in Norway. The return of a fit Fernandes is crucial for Manchester United, who have struggled to start their campaign in the league, securing only five points from their first five matches.\n\nThe Red Devils are now looking to bounce back after the international break, and having a fit Fernandes could make a significant difference in their efforts to turn things around. His ability to create opportunities in the final third is vital for the team's success, and they cannot afford to play without him. If the Record report is accurate, it is a significant boost for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær as he seeks to stabilize the team's performance after the break.",
