Manchester United’s season has barely ended, and already a clash. Having just been voted best player in the Premier League, Bruno Fernandes is taking advantage of his few days of rest before the start of the 2026 World Cup to set things straight with his detractors.
The Portuguese is the target of virulent criticism from Roy Keane. In question, statements following the Mancuniens’ victory against Nottingham Forest on May 17. “There were probably times today where I should have passed rather than shot. I am very happy with the assist, but above all, I am happy with the victory and to end the season in style”commented the team captain.
The former midfielder then insinuated that Bruno Fernandes, in search of the record for the number of assists in a season in the English championship (20), was focusing only on his individual performances and not enough on those of the team. “He will not win trophies with such a state of mind”the club legend protested during the podcast “The Overlap”.

The tension between the two men rose a notch when the Lusitanian international responded to the Briton through another podcast, “The Diary of a CEO”. “I accept his criticism, I accept that he may or may not like me as a player, or as a person. But what I don’t like is that he attributes to me things that I didn’t say. »
Roy Keane’s response was not long in coming, via an Instagram story published this Sunday, true to his sanguine character: “Too much attention makes a donkey think he’s a lion”. Enough to mark the end of the clash, or on the contrary, to inflame it further.
