[Saba Sports News] According to the latest reports from English media, Premier League club Manchester United has granted extra extended leave to Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, hoping they can move past their grief. It is reported that both Bruno and Dalot were teammates of the late Liverpool star Diogo Jota at the national team level. The three had played together and recently won the Nations League together. Last weekend, Bruno and Dalot attended Jota’s funeral in Portugal. Originally set to return for pre-season preparations, Bruno and Dalot have been granted an additional week of leave by Manchester United, along with access to psychological support or other forms of assistance. The entire squad has also shown solidarity and support for them. The editor believes that Jota’s sudden passing was a huge tragedy for Bruno and Dalot, not only because they lost a national team teammate but also a close friend. By extending their leave, Manchester United allows them time to adjust emotionally and recover, reflecting the club’s emphasis on player mental health, which helps prevent negative emotions from affecting their future performance and daily life.
