Manchester United’s shocking 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League has sparked criticism from former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton, who directed his ire at Red Devils’ captain Bruno Fernandes.
Sutton’s rebuke comes as Fernandes faces suspension from the upcoming clash against Liverpool, having accumulated his fifth yellow card of the season during the Bournemouth defeat at Old Trafford.
Reflecting on Fernandes’ yellow card, Sutton expressed that the Portuguese midfielder should hold himself accountable, highlighting his subpar passing in the second half.
“Bruno Fernandes ranting and frothing at the mouth, but the referee Peter Bankes not taking any nonsense, that is the way it should be,” Sutton stated in an interview with the BBC. “You can understand the frustration, but maybe he should be angry at himself. Maybe he is angry at himself because some of his passing in the second half has been woeful.”
The scathing commentary from Sutton sheds light on the intense scrutiny facing Fernandes following Manchester United’s disheartening defeat, intensifying the pressure on the team as they navigate a challenging Premier League season.
