Former English footballer reveals what he did not like from Manchester United vs Chelsea

Bruno Fernandes called out for poor leadership as Manchester United fall to Chelsea

Manchester United are living in dark days. Defeat to Chelsea on Friday night has left the team closer to the bottom than to the European places, with football that seems to have lost its spark, clarity and direction. The mood around the club reflects frustration and exhaustion. There is little to be excited about at Old Trafford, even though the Europa League final is just around the corner. Ruben Amorim’s side’s current form does not inspire confidence, and the pressure is mounting game by game. The situation has become heavy both on and off the pitch.

At Stamford Bridge, the team once again showed a pale version. They surrendered control, failed at both ends of the pitch and put in another weak performance that made their poor form even more evident. One of those who did not have a good night was Rasmus Hojlund. The young Danish attacker failed to do any damage to the Chelsea defence and went unnoticed in most of his interventions. However, what was most striking was the treatment he received from Bruno Fernandes during the match.

Tim Sherwood reveals what he did not like about captain Bruno Fernandes against Chelsea

Tim Sherwood via TBR Football pointed out that there was tension between the two, with gestures that showed discomfort. Fernandes, as captain, showed clear signs of annoyance with his teammate, gesticulating and shooting glances after every failed move. This behaviour did not go unnoticed and opened a new focus of criticism, not only for the low collective level, but also for the way emotions are handled within the group. Instead of support, what was seen was distance. Instead of unity, frustration was exposed, and that, in a team trying to hold on as best it can, weighs more than it seems.
