BREAKING NEWS: Bruno Fernandes has been OFFICIALLY STRIPPED of the Captaincy by Ruben Amorim after a SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS against Wolves last night!
Bruno Fernandes has officially been removed as captain by Ruben Amorim following the events in Manchester United’s loss to Wolves. Amorim, dissatisfied with Fernandes’ recent performance, took this decisive action, appointing a different player to take on the captaincy role.
During United’s 2-0 defeat to Wolves on Thursday night, Fernandes was sent off, marking a critical moment in the match. Wolves capitalized on United’s struggles, with Matheus Cunha scoring directly from a corner, a mistake for which goalkeeper André Onana bore responsibility. Later, Hee-Chan Hwang sealed the victory with a clinical counterattack.
The turning point occurred early in the second half when Fernandes, already on a yellow card, committed a late foul on Nelson Semedo. The referee had no choice but to issue a second yellow, reducing United to ten men. On his way off the pitch, Fernandes walked past Amorim, who notably ignored his captain, reflecting growing frustration with his leadership.
This was Fernandes’ third red card in 17 games, a stark contrast to his earlier discipline as a player. Amorim’s reaction highlighted his dissatisfaction, suggesting this incident was the breaking point in a series of concerns about Fernandes’ suitability as captain.
Post-match, Amorim expressed his frustration during a press conference but acknowledged that Fernandes’ foul was unintentional, aiming for the ball. He also noted that the red card was difficult for Fernandes, who is feeling the consequences of his actions.
The suspension means Fernandes will miss United’s upcoming match against Newcastle on December 30th, alongside Manuel Ugarte, who received his fifth yellow card.
