Bruno Fernandes will get a new coach, and it will be his countryman, Ruben Amorim. The Sporting coach will take over his new club when his noting period expires before the international break, and before that, interim boss Ruud Van Nistelroy took over the second out of his three games in charge. After winning against Leicester, the Red Devils managed only a draw at home to Chelsea (1-1) and the players were criticized again for their performances.It’s neither red nor blue! United and Chelsea share spoilsAmong them was captain Bruno Fernandes, who admitted calling former coach Erik ten Hag to apologize for letting him down.“We know that Erik has gone. It is not good for anyone at the club when the manager goes. The team is not the best, the results are not the best and he is the one who pays for it. Whenever you see a manager go, you have to take some of the blame on yourself. It is because the team is not doing so well. It is easier to get rid of a manager than 15 players. I spoke to the manager and apologised to him. I was disappointed he has gone and I tried to help him. I wasn’t scoring goals, we are not scoring goals, and I feel responsible. I normally score a lot of goals, but I always gave 100 per cent. He is aware of that” said the Portuguese midfielder.Bruno Fernandes scored 0 goals in 13 games under Erik ten Hag this season.He’s scored 3 goals in 2 games under Ruud van Nistelrooy 🎯 pic.twitter.com/cn9oDoqg2L— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 3, 2024 However, another former United captain is not buying any of this. Roy Keane has been a long-time critic of his former club or, rather, the current crop of players. He doesn’t have any kind of YouTube show (like Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand), so he doesn’t have to mince his words.“Too little too late. These are always awkward interviews for players. I don’t think Bruno showed leadership. I don’t think he did enough as captain of United. I don’t think he should be too proud of himself. The players have let the manager down. I’ve played under some great managers and this idea when a player says, “I feel sorry for the manager”, that’s hard to listen to” he told Sky Sports.‘I was told it‘s now or never‘Keane also criticized his teammates for not having the Manchester United ‘DNA’ and wondered why Ruben Amorim didn’t get a longer contract at Old Trafford.“My eyes don’t lie to me. It’s not about liking managers. A lot of them haven’t got the DNA of a Man United player in my eyes. This United team is almost boring. So flat. From the manager’s point of view, this team is way off getting back into the top-four. Amorim should have signed a longer contract” he said.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 10SaturdayNewcastle – Arsenal 1-0 (1-0)/Isak 12/Bournemouth – Manchester City 2-1 (1-0)/Semenyo 9, Evanilson 64 – Gvardiol /Ipswich – Leicester City 1-1 (0-0)/Davis 55 – Ayew 90+4/Liverpool – Brighton 2-1 (0-1)/Gakpo 69, Salah 72 – Kadioglu 14/Nott.
