Doubts have arisen at Manchester United over the permanent captaincy of Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes. It has been reported daily mail.
The Portuguese international came under fire for his angry behavior during Sunday’s match against Liverpool. Many, in particular, were angry that Fernandes ignored the club’s fans as he left the pitch. He also let him push the referee on his back during the Liverpool game.
Many at United, including the players, were upset by Fernandes’ behavior on the pitch last Sunday. Even before the Liverpool game there was a feeling at the club that the Portuguese were unsuitable for the captain role. After Harry Maguire sat tight on the bench, he received a special status and lost that privilege. David de Gea, Rafael Varane and Casemiro have been selected as potential players to become the new captain.
Manchester United lost 0-7 to Liverpool. Cody Gakpo, David Nunez and Mohamed Salah marked the doubles in this match. Another goal was scored by substitute Roberto Firmino.
It was the biggest defeat in the history of Manchester United. Prior to that, the Red Devils had scored six goals from Manchester City and Tottenham in 2011 and 2020 respectively.
It was previously reported that Ten Hag listened to the cheery cries of the Liverpool players to the Manchester United players.
