Would it have been better to suspend him? Manchester United fans lash out at Bruno Fernandes: Get him off the pitch, his performance is terrible!

On the evening of October 6, Manchester United’s Premier League match against Aston Villa ended in a goalless draw. After the game, many voices emerged on social media, with fans generally believing that Bruno Fernandes should not have played in this match, with some even saying it would have been better to suspend him.

The Red Devils traveled to Villa Park under the pressure of four consecutive winless games, including a heavy defeat against Tottenham and a 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League (despite leading 2-0).

In both of these matches, captain Bruno Fernandes received red cards, although his red card against Tottenham was eventually overturned. As such, the Portuguese midfielder continued to start, leading the team against Aston Villa.

However, Fernandes’ performance in this game once again disappointed. He frequently lost possession, putting additional pressure on the team’s defense. As the team’s attacking organizer, he seemed incapable of creating opportunities.

Although Bruno Fernandes has always been an indispensable member of Manchester United, based on his performance on the field, fans believe that head coach Erik ten Hag should decisively take action to substitute him.

“Bruno Fernandes’ performance today was truly awful; we really should consider making a substitution in the second half.”

“The only highlight of this Aston Villa match turned out to be Bruno Fernandes, how ironic.”

“It seems Ten Hag has some reservations about Bruno Fernandes, which is unreasonable!”

“We implore the coach to substitute Bruno Fernandes.”

“Bruno Fernandes, mate, maybe you should consider taking a break for a month.”

“Bruno Fernandes now seems unsuitable for this team. His performance is indeed disappointing.”

Statistics show that in this match, B Fernandes played for 90 minutes, had only 60 touches, completed 39 passes with 4 errors, did not contribute any key passes, had only one shot on target, and lost possession as many as nine times.
