Bruno Fernandes, the underperforming captain of Manchester United, has come under fire from Chris Sutton, who called him a “cry-baby.”

With their thrilling 2-1 victory over Chelsea at home last week, Erik ten Hag’s team gave the impression that they had turned the corner, but on Saturday, they suffered the most crushing loss of the Dutchman’s tenure.

With a well-earned 3-0 victory, Bournemouth—who had never triumphed at Old Trafford—added extra pressure on Ten Hag ahead of a pivotal week.

Liverpool is waiting for United at Anfield on Sunday, and the team knows that a victory over the German powerhouses may not be sufficient to guarantee a spot in the Champions League’s round of 16.

The intransigence of Fernandes, who will miss the match against Liverpool due to the unnecessary yellow card he received in the final moments of the match against the Cherries, hasn’t exactly helped Ten Hag’s cause.

Sutton criticized the Portugal international for his carelessness in possession, saying that his lack of discipline was far from his only transgression.

“One quote in particular from Bruno Fernandes summed up the alarmingly poor attitude among Manchester United’s players,” he told the Daily Mail.

He said that they believed it would be “easy.” Because United misjudged Bournemouth, they were thoroughly embarrassed.

I was present at Old Trafford to see Erik ten Hag’s team put on yet another dismal performance. They had 161 possession losses.

Of them, Fernandes was responsible for 22. He ended himself in Hartlepool after attempting to play Hollywood passes (no offense to readers who are Monkey Hangers).

He was then given a yellow card for being such a whiner at the conclusion of the beating. He is now suspended for Sunday’s trip to Liverpool, a match that United lost 7-0 the previous season, as it was his fifth of the current campaign. The captain’s weak leadership style persisted.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one at fault. The post-match attitude that Fernandes indicated is a dressing-room issue.

The players for United may believe that everything would just happen for them, but in actuality, you have to work for it.

In this division, freebies are not given out. If you show up believing you’ve won before the ball is kicked, you will lose.

There’s a reason why after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in the Premier League, United has lost more home games (35) than they did in his 21 seasons as manager (34). The club won’t advance until they change their terrible mentality.
