Not only did Manchester United suffer a devastating defeat at the hands of Bournemouth, but they also endured a cruel blow when it was announced that Bruno Fernandes would be suspended for the upcoming match against Liverpool.
Bournemouth defeated Manchester United with a score of 0-3 in the match that took place in round 16 of the Premier League. This result came as a complete surprise to the team. That encounter was one in which the Red Devils played poorly and were able to concede goals with relative ease.
Furthermore, after this encounter, Manchester United suffered a significant setback when Bruno Fernandes was suspended for the crucial match against Liverpool in the following round due to receiving an excessive number of yellow cards at the previous match.
At the 84th minute, the camera lens was aimed in the direction of the Portuguese celebrity. After receiving a card for reacting to referee financier Peter Bankes, this player walked slowly on the field while displaying a displeased expression.
Bruno Fernandes was subjected to a great deal of criticism on social media platforms after making a simple error that put Manchester United in a precarious position during their match against Liverpool. Here are some remarks that were made on Twitter:
“Bruno Fernandes is scared, wants to avoid Liverpool?” .
“Perhaps Bruno Fernandes wants to remove his card because he is afraid of facing Liverpool” .
“Bruno Fernandes does not deserve to be captain of Man Utd” .
Craig Burley, a former player, was known to attack Bruno Fernandes on a regular basis while commenting on ESPN. He stated, “Man United is really in chaos.” There has been no change in the situation, regardless of whether or not people criticize him and believe that he deserves to be the captain of Manchester United. In order to avoid missing out on two crucial matches in a row, the club will have to compete against Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
There is little doubt that Bruno Fernandes is aware of the tension that Ten Hag is experiencing as a coach. He serves as the club’s captain and is the club’s mainstay. Additionally, this midfielder is the star player on whom the entire team depends. To put it simply, he was given a card for acting in an unacceptable manner. Regularly, Bruno Fernandes would engage in this activity. As a result of his absence from the encounter against Liverpool, the entire team was forced to bear the penalties of his missing game.
Coach Ten Hag is confronted with yet another significant challenge while working with top teams. It is my opinion that the captain of the team should not behave in such a manner. The deeds of Bruno Fernandes are not forgiven by anyone.
The Champions League match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is scheduled to take place in the near future. With three points, the Red Devils are ranked seventh in Group A, one point behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray. They are now in last place. It is only possible for them to advance to the next round if they defeat Bayern Munich and hope that the match between Copenhagen and Galatasaray ends in a draw. This is the only possibility that they have left to win tickets to the next round.
