Bruno Fernandes has received backlash from a Manchester United icon.
This gifted player didn’t hold anything back in his assessment of the Portuguese sensation.
Paul Scholes slams Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes went in on his Manchester United teammates after the club’s defeat against Hull at the MKM Stadium.
Going into the match, the Premier League giants were expected to hit the ground running and blow their rivals out of the water.
However, the reality turned out to be entirely different, with the underdogs scoring two first-half goals to leave United in a state of disarray.
In the second segment, the away side looked completely devoid of ideas, ultimately succumbing to a 2-0 defeat, which left Fernandes furious.
In his post-match interview, he raged: “Same mistakes as we did last season, every away game we give too much of the ball to them. In the first 20 minutes, the goalkeeper was the one with the most touches.
“We needed to press more, be more aggressive, and then again we need to work on set-plays and not concede these type of goals. Against these types of teams, they are waiting for that moment.
“We knew before the game set-pieces would be a big part of their game. They played all pre-season with a back four but had a five against us for some height, for these moments. The most frustrating thing is that we lost the game.”
These comments left Paul Scholes fuming. During an episode of The Good, The Bad and The Football, he exclaimed: “When you perform the way he did as well, I think it’s probably best to keep your mouth shut, because he didn’t have his best performance either.”
