BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha gives us his insight and opinion every fortnight on your Premier League club and this week he’s in the hotseat answering your questions.

Anthony asked: Can Ruben Amorim turn Bruno Fernandes into the type of leader that Manchester United have had in the past?

Nedum replied: For Erik ten Hag to make him captain, it means he was doing something right on a day-to-day basis.

Leading by example is subjective because your perspective differs when you are either in or outside of the club. We only see these players for a few hours a week, so we don’t see the rest of what they are doing.

Amorim will know Fernandes very well and how he wants him to fit into his style of play. Fernandes will take on that instruction, no doubt, and hope to start playing like he has in previous seasons.

I am sure he will be hoping to lead by example in terms of output under this new manager and be desperate to learn more things from him to improve his game.

Plus they will both want to win trophies, so it could be a match made in heaven.
