Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has sent shockwaves through Old Trafford after brutally blasting captain Bruno Fernandes following United’s crushing 3-1 defeat to Brentford. In a stunning post-match outburst, Amorim singled out his skipper as the main reason for the defeat, calling him a “game killer” and insisting his presence in the squad has lost all value.
Speaking with visible anger and frustration after yet another painful defeat, Amorim did not hold back.
“I think it’s high time for Bruno Fernandes to leave. He cost us the match. The fans don’t respect his presence in this team anymore, and honestly, I don’t see his importance to Manchester United. Today, he was a game killer,” Amorim declared.
Fans Losing Patience with Bruno Fernandes
For months now, Manchester United supporters have been split over Bruno Fernandes. While some still respect him for his past performances, many have grown increasingly frustrated with his attitude, lack of leadership, and poor decision-making in big games.
Yesterday’s defeat against Brentford was the boiling point. Fans were furious online, with many demanding that the captain’s armband be stripped away from Bruno immediately.
One angry supporter wrote:
“Enough is enough. Bruno has been terrible this season, and Amorim is right—he’s killing our games. A captain should lead, not cost us matches.”
Another added:
“We’ve defended him for too long, but reality is he doesn’t deserve to start anymore. Time to move him on.”
Brentford 3-1 Manchester United – A Total Collapse
The match itself was nothing short of a disaster for United. Brentford’s energy, pressing, and sharp finishing exposed United’s weaknesses all over the pitch. Bruno Fernandes, instead of inspiring his side, was sloppy in possession, indecisive in attack, and failed to rally the squad when they needed him most.
For a captain of Manchester United, such performances are simply unacceptable. Amorim’s comments show that the new manager will not shy away from making ruthless decisions if players do not step up.
What This Means for Bruno Fernandes
Being publicly criticized as a “game killer” by your own manager is one of the harshest humiliations any footballer can endure. Bruno Fernandes now faces a crossroads: fight back and prove his worth, or risk being pushed out of Old Trafford sooner than expected.
As things stand, the fans are siding with Amorim. Calls for Bruno to be dropped—or even sold in January—are growing louder, and this controversy has made his future at the club even more uncertain.
The fans are furious with Bruno Fernandes’ performance today. This is not looking good for him at all.
