Ronnie's warning to Crick/replace Bruno before he explodes!
Wayne Rooney has given Michael Carrick a stern warning about Bruno Fernandes' management at Manchester United.
According to "Sports Three", the legend of the Red Devils and the English national team believes that the 32-year-old Portuguese national player should be removed from the main lineup before he loses control of his nerves and explodes; Because he is worried that the captain of the team is fed up with the current state of the club and starts giving interviews and damaging statements.
Speaking to the Stick to United program, the former striker of English football expressed his concern about the mental state of the Portuguese midfielder and said: "Bruno is fed up. I really feel that he is thinking that the same scenario has happened again and again. This can only be repeated to a certain extent. He has always carried the burden of the team, but sometimes it is necessary to pull him out of this position and role to breathe again. I feel that now the tensions are piling up in him and if the situation continues in this way, we will witness his outburst. "He is not afraid to speak the truth and express his opinion, so if the situation does not change, this will definitely happen."
Rooney further explored the tactical problems in the midfield of the Creek side and argued: "In my opinion, the presence of three players in the middle of the field is necessary at the moment, because the opponents have the upper hand in terms of running and style of play. "Suddenly, we see Kobe Maino and Yuri Tillmans, who are not very fast and dynamic players, trying to cover the entire width of the field as two midfielders, and they certainly cannot do it."
This sensitive and unstable situation is clearly visible in the ranking table; Where Manchester United is in the 13th place in the Premier League and has won only one out of six matches. Last Saturday, Bruno Fernandes left Old Trafford after a 1-1 draw with Tottenham with a slumping streak and a completely upset face; A match in which the opponent came back despite having 10 players and tied the defeat 1-0. In a match that mirrored the team's disharmony, the creative Portuguese midfielder sent his first healthy pass in just the 23rd minute of the match.
The statistics of this season are significantly different from the usual efficiency of this Portuguese international. He has created just one big goal-scoring chance so far, which came on a long pass to Brian Mbomo against Ipswich. Fernandez is currently averaging 2.6 chances created per 90 minutes, his second-worst since joining Old Trafford. This situation is completely different from last season; The era when he recorded 12 goals or assists in the final 11 matches to qualify for the European Champions League, and by sending 21 assists in one Premier League season, he surpassed the records of Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Although the 32-year-old has been struggling with physical pain for nearly a month, Michael Carrick downplayed the impact of the injury, stressing that no player in the squad is unreachable or immune to the bench.
