“With those players in that position, I don’t think we’ll achieve anything… I’m sorry.”
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has voiced his frustration, naming two players he believes are holding the team back.
In a candid post-match interview following United’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, Fernandes criticized the team’s attacking struggles.
While he didn’t specify names, his comments highlighted ongoing issues in the final third.
The loss marked United’s seventh home defeat of the season, adding to the growing concerns about the squad’s overall performance.
Fernandes’ remarks come at a time when the team is already under heavy scrutiny, and publicly calling out teammates—whether directly or indirectly—could further strain dressing room relations.
If his criticism was aimed at underperforming forwards, speculation may focus on players like Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, or Rasmus Højlund, who has faced injury setbacks.
However, openly blaming teammates can be a risky move, potentially damaging morale rather than motivating improvement.
Was Fernandes right to make such a statement, or should these issues be addressed behind closed doors?
