Manchester United ended their collaboration with Erik Ten Hag on October 28. The Dutch coach was ousted following the disappointing results of the club, currently 13th in the Premier League after 10 days. This departure aroused remorse in the captain of the Red Devils, Bruno Fernandes, who expressed a strong feeling of guilt.
“I spoke to Erik Ten Hag and apologized to him, I was disappointed he left and tried to help him. I wasn’t scoring goals, we weren’t scoring goals and I feel responsible. It’s not good for anyone at the club when the manager leaves. The team is not the best, the results are not the best and he is the one who paid for it”confided the Portuguese attacking midfielder after the match against Chelsea this Sunday.
Ten Hag abandoned by its players
However, these declarations did not soften Roy Keane, former glory of MU, who also wore the captain’s armband for the Mancuniens. The latter notably called into question the leadership role of Bruno Fernandes.
“It’s a little late. Players are judged by what they do on the pitch, and Bruno has not shown enough leadership,” declared the former England international on SkySports. “Bruno was not up to the task of helping the coach. It’s not just him, but when the situation deteriorated, he was not the leader we hoped for. Bruno must not be very proud of what happened over the last two weeks. The players let go of the coach. »
