Fergie time is dead and gone, even with just a one-goal deficit. It’s now Amorim time, the point in the fixture where players are rested for games United can actually win.

Man Utd should sack Ruben Amorim before it's too late

Manchester United have dominated Chelsea in recent years, losing just once in the league since 2017, but were 11/2 underdogs this time around, another unnecessary reminder of how far the Red Devils have fallen.

The exception was, and has been all season, United’s captain Fernandes and in pursuit of points that meant a lot more to Chelsea, the skipper gave Spurs a preview of what he will hope to do to them on Wednesday in Bilbao.

Just 13 minutes later, United’s most effective striker Maguire stayed up after a corner, and Fernandes found an angle that no one else in a United shirt ever could have. He turned a straight-line cross into an arcing, pinpoint pass that evaded the defence and which even his centre-back could not fail to convert, but for the assistant’s flag.

So it has been all year. In the Premier League, he is United’s leading goalscorer (eight) and assist-maker (nine). Amad Diallo is closest, four back with 13 goal contributions, but everyone else’s total is less than half of Fernandes’s.

But it is still Europe’s second tier of club competition. Fernandes deserves to be doing it in the Champions League, added motivation if any were needed in the Basque Country on Wednesday. With Fernandes, it is rarely needed.

Any summer conversations with a much-needed striker will surely start with “is he staying?”, because even the best forwards require service, and there are few other creators.

So there is the tension. The more United need him, the more he needs to leave United.

What Bruno does next will always be worth watching, either way.
