“I’ve Had Enough of This!” – Bruno Fernandes Hits Back After Amorim’s Harsh Words on His Penalty Miss Against Fulham
BREAKING: The crisis at Manchester United deepens after their 1-1 draw with Fulham, with captain Bruno Fernandes now at the heart of the drama. The Portuguese star admitted he was left “embarrassed” and furious after hearing manager Ruben Amorim’s post-match remarks following his missed penalty that could have sealed victory.
Bruno opened up after the game:
> “Yes, I missed the penalty that could have given us the win, but honestly, I’m not okay with what Ruben Amorim said to me when the game ended. I felt embarrassed — and I won’t tolerate that from him anymore.”
The Penalty Miss
United had a golden chance to snatch all three points in stoppage time, but Bruno’s spot-kick was saved by Fulham’s keeper. While the miss was tough to take, it was Amorim’s reaction afterward that truly sparked Fernandes’ outrage. Instead of support, the manager’s words were biting, reportedly questioning Bruno’s composure and even hinting someone else should be on penalty duties.
Bruno fired back:
> “I’ve always stepped up for this club, taken responsibility when others wouldn’t. To be spoken to like that after one mistake? That’s disrespectful.”
Fan Reactions
Supporters were immediately split online. Many defended their skipper:
“Bruno has carried this team for years. One miss and Amorim humiliates him? Outrageous.”
“Disrespect Bruno and you risk losing the whole dressing room.”
Others backed Amorim:
“A captain has to face criticism. Missing that penalty was huge.”
“No player is bigger than the team, not even Bruno.”
Neville’s Harsh Verdict
Gary Neville didn’t hold back on Sky Sports:
> “Managers should shield players in public, not tear them down. If Amorim really said that, he’s already lost the dressing room. Bruno may have missed, but he’s still their leader.”
Old Trafford Tension Rising
The fallout adds to United’s rocky start under Amorim. Instead of uniting the squad, he now risks clashing with his most influential player. If Fernandes feels alienated, Amorim’s reign could unravel faster than anyone expected.
Bruno has made his stance clear: he won’t accept being disrespected. Amorim, under mounting pressure, must tread carefully — or risk losing his captain, his squad, and his job.
