Sunday, the 10th day of the Premier League between Manchester United and Manchester City turned to the advantage of the Skyblues (0-3). As often in recent years. Pep Guardiola’s men taught the helpless Red Devils a lesson. In an Old Trafford more gloomy than ever, Erik ten Hag’s team seems to be running out of ideas. Like Bruno Fernandes who is not unanimous, especially given his status as captain of the club. After the meeting, Roy Keane got carried away by pointing the finger at the Portuguese on Sky Sports. “I would definitely take away the captaincy from him. 100%. I know it’s an important decision, (…) but Fernandes is not a captain.”

“He’s a talented player, there’s no doubt about that, but I think with what I saw today from him, he’s complaining, he’s moaning, he’s constantly throwing his arms in the air, is really not acceptable. You have to start somewhere, we’re talking about the board level, the managers, I would start there because the coach is able to do that and put his hand up and say: ‘Look, I was wrong’. Fernandes is a brilliant footballer, but in terms of captaincy he is the opposite of what I would expect from a captain., says Roy Keane, former emblematic captain of the Red Devils. “When things are not going well at a club, bad decisions seem to keep coming», he concludes. As a reminder, Harry Maguire was removed from the captain’s armband only a few months ago. A leadership problem that lasts at Manchester United.
