Ruben Amorim says Bruno Fernandes will remain United’s penalty taker despite missing two out of his last three spot kicks.

The Manchester United head coach was speaking in the embargoed section of the pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.

“Yes, he’s the main taker,” Amorim confirmed. “He scores a lot of goals. We have other options and more guys to score a penalty if he needs. If we need, we can change. But I’m fully confident that Bruno will sort that out.

“I know it’s not easy for him. But I think he has 70 penalties and he misses like nine – two with me, so I’m really annoyed with that!

“But he’s really confident. He’s practising the penalties. He’s trying to understand that people are watching the way he scores the penalties. So he will be ready.”

Amorim also indicated that Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee won’t be allowed to leave in the January transfer window despite both players being unhappy over their lack of playing time ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
