Brazilian midfielder Bruno Fernandes has fired a thinly veiled dig at his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo with a press clef. Fernandes, who has been praising the tireless work off the ball by Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho, says the Portuguese superstar’s philosophy is not working.
Bruno Fernandes praises Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial for working tirelessly off the ball
Brazilian star Bruno Fernandes has fired a thinly veiled sarcastic dig at Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was absent from the club’s pre-season tour of Australia and Thailand and Fernandes has praised his team-mates’ work off the ball. The defender also suggested that Ronaldo may not want to return to Sporting Lisbon, despite speculation that he might be interested in a move to the Portuguese side.
The Portuguese international was speaking to his own team-mates after the game, and he praised the forwards for their pressing against Crystal Palace. He also said that his side would be better with Ronaldo at the helm. Although Ronaldo is in a position to sign a new contract, Fernandes has suggested that his return hasn’t hampered his career.
Bruno Fernandes criticises Cristiano Ronaldo’s reluctance to press
Brazilian footballer Bruno Fernandes has questioned the role of Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United’s team. The Portuguese striker has been one of the most criticized players in the Premier League in recent years. Although he has been a key part of United’s success, his lack of willingness to press with the press cl has left the club in an uncomfortable position. Cristiano has been criticized by fans for not pressing enough and has reportedly been avoiding press conferences since arriving at the club.
Despite this, however, there are still a lot of questions to be answered regarding Ronaldo. His future at Manchester United is uncertain, and reports have suggested that he is considering leaving the club. Ronaldo has also refused to travel with the team to Thailand and Australia, meaning he will miss a tour of the country.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s philosophy
Manchester United’s forwards were praised by their manager for their pressing style during the 2-1 defeat of Crystal Palace. Fernandes, however, was quick to point out that it wasn’t a problem when he played with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal international was also quick to suggest that his return from injury hasn’t hampered his career.
The comments by Fernandes are particularly concerning, as the midfielder is friends with Ronaldo, both at United and on the international stage. Fernandes’ comments are indicative of a lack of harmony in the dressing room. Earlier this summer, it appeared as if Ronaldo was on his way out of Old Trafford, but new manager Erik ten Hag is keen to keep him. He continues to train in Portugal and has ruled out a return to Sporting.
