Following Manchester United’s 0-2 loss to Tottenham, Bruno Fernandes faced criticism for publicly demanding an apology from the Premier League organizers. The 28-year-old midfielder expressed his disappointment that his team was not awarded a penalty when Alejandro Garnacho’s shot appeared to hit Cristian Romero’s arm. Although the incident was reviewed by VAR, referee Michael Oliver allowed play to continue and denied Manchester United the penalty.
“I want to see if Jon Moss (head of the Premier League referee) comes to apologize in our dressing room like he apologized to the Wolves manager,” Bruno Fernandes said.Fernandes’ statement was fiercely criticized by former Blackburn and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton. “Absolutely not, the referee was not at fault,” Sutton said on It’s All Kicking Off.
“Bruno Fernandes first needs to solve his own problems, is his team’s performance before judging the referees and their decisions. For me, Bruno Fernandes should not be the captain of Man Utd. , not at all, he’s not a leader.Basically, his statement speaks volumes about his leadership qualities.
