“If we were on the same team, I would have strangled him”


There was a high level of criticism directed at Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.


Britain's 'Football Insider' reported on the 10th (hereinafter Korean time), "McAveney insisted that Fernandez should step down as Manchester United captain instead of signing a new contract."


McAveney is a striker who played for West Ham United, Celtic, and Aston Villa in the 1980s. The former Scotland international striker has been making his views known in football with bold statements since his retirement.


McAveney said: "Fernandez is not setting a good example for the talented young players at Manchester United. He is not that kind of person. It is not the Manchester United captain's job to get booked for arguing with a referee or a player."


There were also high-level remarks. McAveney said: "If Fernandes was in my team, I would have strangled him by now. I can't stand his impatience. He is like a young boy. Personally, I don't think Fernandes should be captain of Manchester United." He added.


It was a strong criticism. McAveney claimed that Fernandes' hot-tempered nature meant he was dealt a lot of credit, which was not a good look for a captain. Furthermore, it was believed that Bruno, who has recently received attention from the Saudi Professional League, should step down as captain while extending his contract.

Fernandez will wear the captain's armband this season after settling at Manchester United in 2020. Although the official captain last season was Harry Maguire, it is no exaggeration to say that he continued to serve on the bench and in fact served as captain from last season.


There is no doubt about his skills. Since his first season at Manchester United, he has scored 8 league goals, and the following season, he performed at the best level with 18 league goals and 11 assists. He is still recording excellent results to this day. He is the ‘Steel King’ who never gets hurt, so he plays in most games and is loved by fans.


However, Fernandez is criticized for his hot-headed personality and card collection. This season, it seems to have gotten worse along with Manchester United's poor performance. He received 6 yellow cards last season and has already received 7 yellow cards this season. Last December, he sat out the away game against Liverpool due to accumulating warnings. If the game doesn't go as planned or goes your way, there are times when you argue with the referee. There were many scenes of him getting irritated and yelling at his colleagues.


For this reason, many fans as well as soccer figures continued to argue that Fernandez was not suitable as captain. McAveney also made a statement in the same context. Fernandez, whose skills are already world-class, needs to acquire the maturity to match his captaincy in order to silence the criticism directed at him.
