Britain’s Daily Mail reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Bruno gave an honest evaluation of Manchester United’s atmosphere amid the worst start of the season.
Manchester United has been having a difficult time with its sluggish performance since the beginning of this season. It ended up with a draw against Aston Villa just before the A-match in October, and has not won in the last five official matches, and the league standings have remained in 14th place.
Along with Manchester United’s performance, the squad and manager Erik ten Hag were also criticized. It was Ten Hag who received the most criticism, but Bruno, the captain, could not avoid responsibility.
Bruno also saw two instances in recent games where his team’s performance was ruined by dismissals. In his last sixth-round league match against Tottenham, Bruno was sent off directly for hitting James Maddison in the calf. Later, fortunately, the post-mortem penalty was canceled, allowing him to play again in the league.
However, the exit problem also occurred in the Europa League. In the Europa League match against Porto, Bruno added a warning due to his high foot during an unreasonable competition for an aerial ball in front of the opponent’s gate, and was sent off accumulated. Since then, Bruno said on his personal SNS, “No one is more disappointed with this mistake than me,” claiming that he was the most disappointed.
Following his exit, he embarrassed Manchester United fans with an interview. Bruno recently joined the Portuguese national team for an A-match in October and conducted an interview. Asked about Manchester United in an interview, Bruno said, “It is not a positive atmosphere. We are not winning the game, and the space of the national team is completely different,” openly pointing out the atmosphere inside Manchester United and even pointing it out with the Portuguese national team.
“I am in Portugal, speak my own language, and the food tastes better. I have shown good performance in the national team. I feel great, and I can enjoy high-quality soccer with my team’s dynamism and my skills,” he said without hesitation.
“We have to live up to expectations,” Bruno said of returning to Manchester United after the A-match. “I hope it will help us to score a return goal for the team and maintain a high level,” but it was undeniable that some of his remarks were not appropriate as Manchester United captain.
Manchester United fans were furious when Bruno’s story broke. The 꽁머니 fans pointed out that “his leadership is absolutely terrible,” “it’s time to sell him,” “it’s not a leader, it’s not a team player,” and “the club’s claim is stupid.”
Following the recent exit incident, Bruno’s interview sparked anger among fans. If this problem continues to be repeated, it is more likely that it will be the fans who are disappointed in Bruno, not themselves.
