One in the carnation and the other in the horseshoe: “Bruno Fernandes hugeja, grumbling...”

Wayne Rooney did not hide, this Wednesday, the indignation at the way Manchester United presented itself last weekend in Craven Cottage, where it emerged unable to go beyond a tie to a ball with Fulham, which ‘shot’ it to the 12th position of the Premier League, already five points away from the leader, Manchester City.

No podcast ‘Stick to United‘, broadcast by the Disney+ streaming platform, the former English international (which added 253 goals and 122 assists to the cable of 559 official matches played with the red devils sweater, between 2004 and 2017), pointed the finger at a series of players, starting immediately... by the captain, the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes.

“We’re not doing enough. We're trying to follow these game patterns, but actually, football can be as difficult or as easy as you want to make it. The best teams in the history of football always had players who did things out of plan, when the games were close ", started by affirming.

“ Our games are won when your superstars do something out of the picture, not when they think, "Okay, you know what? I will remain faithful to the process and continue to do this’. That also applies to the defense. I think, at the end of the game, [Matheus] Cunha said something about not running enough”, he continued.

“ So, run, show what you're worth, quickly get around, turn around and tell your teammates to do the same. He's the beginning of Manchester United not running. It begins with the two in front, Cunha and Bruno, who did not do enough ", completed the now sports commentator, 40 years old.

“Bruno Fernandes hugs and, whenever he is kicked, complains with his opponents, but...”

Still, not everything was bad in what Bruno Fernandes' exhibition concerns. This is because, added Wayne Rooney, former Sporting player was one of the few elements of Manchester United who was concerned about the course that the closing meeting of the fifth Premier League was taking.

“ I have no idea what these players are thinking, because it looks like they're stunned. It just seems they suffered a concussion. It's weird. You want to see someone getting upset, someone being aggressive, someone...”, reflected the former advance, who, throughout his career, also represented Everton, DC United and Derby County.

“ You know, Bruno tries. Sometimes it doesn't seem ideal, because it hugs and whenever it's kicked, it grumbles with opponents, but at least it's trying to do something, while the other players... Before [Marcus] Rashford leaves, the camera focuses on him, and he's looking at the alternate seat. Do you want to go out?” he concluded.

It is certain that, now, Bruno Fernandes will put the crisis of sports results that plagues Manchester United in ‘stand by’, since he was summoned by Jorge Jesus to represent the national team in the first four days of the League of Nations group phase, in which Portugal will have the front Wales, Norway (two times) and Denmark.
