Bruno Fernandes criticises Manchester United's performance and demands new signings

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, criticized his teammates following a disappointing 2-2 draw with Everton in a pre-season match held in Atlanta, Georgia. After his initial goal was neutralized by Iliman Ndiaye, an unexpected own goal by Ayden Heaven allowed Everton to even the score. Fernandes described the team's performance as 'lazy' and emphasized the need for the club to strengthen the squad with new signings. He acknowledged the club's financial constraints but made it clear that competition among players is essential for improvement. Despite several new additions to the squad, he stated that the current quality must elevate for a better performance this season. Manager Ruben Amorim echoed this sentiment, highlighting the necessity for improvement as they prepare to return to their training ground before the season starts.

The criticism from Fernandes points to deeper issues within Manchester United. His remarks reflect both the challenges the team faces and the high expectations that come with being a club of its stature. Since finishing 15th in the last Premier League season, the need for more skilled players becomes glaringly apparent. The blend of existing and new talent will be critical in creating a competitive spirit, as complacency has crept in. Fans will be watching closely to see how management responds to these calls for reinforcements and whether they can deliver on the promise of an improved team.

Highlights

With the season approaching, Manchester United must act swiftly to bolster their squad.
