Bruno Fernandes Blames Manchester United Teammate After Bournemouth Draw
Following Manchester United’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, Bruno Fernandes appeared to direct blame towards a teammate for the dropped points. The Portuguese midfielder, who scored twice to salvage the result, hinted in his post-match comments that key mistakes cost United the victory.
Fernandes expressed frustration over missed opportunities in front of goal and defensive errors that allowed Bournemouth to find the net twice. Without mentioning anyone by name, his remarks suggested that certain players failed to meet expectations, both offensively and defensively.
“We have to be more clinical and defend better as a team,” Fernandes said. “Mistakes happen, but at this level, they cost you games. We need to be more focused and responsible.”
United’s defensive frailties were once again exposed, as they struggled to contain Bournemouth’s attack. Despite Fernandes’ efforts to inspire a comeback, the team’s inconsistency continued to be a major concern.
This result adds further pressure on United’s push for European qualification, with critics increasingly pointing to internal issues within the squad. Fernandes’ comments reflect the growing frustration within the camp as the season nears its end, and underline the urgent need for improvement on both ends of the pitch.
