“He was so Unprofessional and I was so disappointed. He shouted at me with an insult because I corrected him. I created a lot of chances for him but he refused to score. I don’t know why he wasn’t subbed off. He killed our game today”-Bruno Fernandes makes shock Man United admission on his arrogant teammate after Man City defeat “🗣The coach couldn’t do anything about it. We lost the Derby today thanks to him😡💔😫”.
Bruno Fernandes has shared candid insights following Manchester United’s 3-1 loss against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The 29-year-old midfielder featured for the entire duration of the match as United faced defeat despite initially taking the lead in the first half. Fernandes played a pivotal role in setting up Marcus Rashford’s goal, which thundered into the net via the crossbar.
Despite United’s resilient defensive efforts led by André Onana and Raphaël Varane, Phil Foden managed to breach their defense with a remarkable long-range strike. Foden later added another goal to his tally, capitalizing on Sofyan Amrabat’s error, sealing the game in added time.
Reflecting on the match, Fernandes admitted that while United executed their game plan effectively, there was a noticeable disparity in individual quality compared to Manchester City.
“At halftime, I acknowledged that we were executing our plan well,” Fernandes remarked, according to United Zone. “However, the difference in individual quality from Manchester City was evident.”
Although such acknowledgment may not surprise supporters, it’s disheartening to hear the captain openly acknowledge such disparities following a defeat where United seemed outclassed by Guardiola’s side.
Fernandes further discussed the team’s commitment and defensive resilience in the face of City’s dominance.
“I believe the team showed commitment throughout,” Fernandes told Sky Sports. “We had our chances. At times, we dropped too deep, but defending against City is challenging, given their relentless pressing.”
Addressing the challenge of securing a Champions League spot following the loss, Fernandes stressed the importance of winning games for a club like Manchester United.
“Every time we fail to win a match, it’s detrimental to this club,” Fernandes emphasized. “We understand the expectations here and strive to win every game we play.
“Although we didn’t secure three points today, there’s still a long journey ahead. We acknowledge that not everything is within our control, as other teams must drop points, but we must focus on our responsibilities and give our best.”
