Yes, we won today… but I will NEVER forgive him for wasting my assists like that. I could have broken the record if not for him!”
Bruno Fernandes has reportedly made a light-hearted yet slightly frustrated remark directed at one of his Manchester United teammates following a number of missed opportunities in the team’s dramatic victory.
Reports circulating widely on social media claim the United captain admitted that despite being pleased with the result, he was left disappointed that certain chances went unfinished, as those moments could have brought him closer to reaching an important assist milestone.
According to the claims, Bruno jokingly said he would “never forgive” the teammate involved, suggesting he could already have achieved the record if those opportunities had been converted.
The Portuguese playmaker was once again at the center of United’s attacking display, creating several dangerous moments and producing key passes throughout the match as he continued building an impressive campaign and strengthening his pursuit of Premier League history.
The alleged comments sparked major reactions online, with many supporters expressing sympathy toward Bruno after watching clear scoring opportunities go begging during the game.
Bruno’s influence through his creativity, work rate, leadership and intensity has played a major role in Manchester United’s positive run toward the end of the season under Michael Carrick.
Still, there has been no firm confirmation from highly reliable sources regarding the exact words attributed to Fernandes, meaning the claims currently remain part of wider social media speculation surrounding his pursuit of the assist record.
