After seeing Manchester United suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of Manchester City, former midfielder Roy Keane once again demanded that manager Erik ten Hag remove Bruno Fernandes from his captaincy role.
” The first thing that needs to be done is to remove Bruno Fernandes from his position as captain. I am aware that this is a crucial choice, but Bruno Fernandes does not meet the requirements to be captain. Former midfielder Roy Keane made a remark about him on the Sky Sports TV station. “He is a talented player, but what I see today it’s just him constantly whining and throwing his hands up in the air,” Keane said.
In the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester United was defeated by Manchester City 3-0 at Old Trafford. In the otherwise disorganized game that they played against Man City, the Red Devils only had a few bright spots in their play.
The home team lost, while the away team won thanks to two goals scored by Erling Haaland and one by Phil Foden. Man United may have been defeated by a wider margin if Andre Onana, their goalie, had not been so outstanding.
Because of his subpar performance, Bruno was subjected to a lot of criticism.
During this loss, there was a lot of criticism directed at coach Erik ten Hag, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount, Antony, and most importantly Bruno Fernandes, who was the captain of the team. The Portuguese player did not have any passes that were particularly innovative throughout the entire encounter. Because he was constantly in a rush and made a lot of careless plays, it was difficult for Manchester United to maintain possession of the ball.
Roy Keane reflected on the situation and said, “It is difficult to accept, but I will begin in the captain’s position.” Bruno Fernandes is undeniably a talented athlete, but as a person, he possesses many characteristics that go counter to what we look for in a teammate. The captain. I can’t help but feel sorry for a lot of the Manchester United players. They are lacking in both technique and physicality, as well as in tactical ability. Even though they are not playing well, Man City is still giving Man United a run for their money.
Gary Neville, an additional former player for Manchester United, was critical of the management of the Red Devils after reading this article. Neville concurred with Erik ten Hag’s assessment that he made poor replacement decisions during the game against Manchester City. Despite this, Erik ten Hag should not be let go by Manchester United at this time.
” Transformational coach? No. But there is no denying that Erik ten Hag is experiencing difficulties. Over the course of the last 18 months, none of us have been able to figure out what Manchester United is trying to accomplish, as they play poor football. But I do not feel resentment toward Erik ten Hag. He is not the primary source of the issue. Neville remarked that the toxic atmosphere on this team has a detrimental effect on both the coaches and the players that join it.
