Browse By

Outspoken pundit Graeme Souness has reiterated his view of Bruno Fernandes, suggesting the player’s character is not suitable to lead Manchester United. Erik ten Hag has stripped Harry Maguire of the captaincy

and handed him the mantle of Bruno Fernandes, with Souness reflecting on his earlier comments. “When

you look at leaders in the game today, there’s one example at Manchester United, which is one of the biggest football institutions in the world. “

Their captain is Bruno Fernandes.

“They had one time when they were 3-0 down at Liverpool a few seasons ago and he just gave up… He’s the captain!” “

If he’s got something to do, he’s got to be involved, he’s got to be running around the pitch with enthusiasm and helping the team-mates. “

Manchester United are gearing up for a season that will surely define Erik ten Hag’s reign at the club, สมัคร ufabet with his second campaign falling well short of his promising first term in charge. 

The arrival of Ineos at the helm of all football operations has also generated some optimism, with some fans keen to see what impact the new regime can have. 

I don’t think Fernandes can change that side of him. It’s part of him. When he shrugs and screams, that’s who he is.”
