Bruno Fernandes Points Fingers as Thierry Henry Slams Man United’s Defensive Disaster Against Newcastle
Manchester United’s recent 4-1 thrashing by Newcastle has sparked a wave of criticism from fans, pundits, and even the players themselves. After the final whistle at St. James’ Park, Bruno Fernandes made a bold statement — admitting someone in the squad let the team down, though he insisted supporters are blaming the wrong person.
While Alejandro Garnacho gave United brief hope by cancelling out Sandro Tonali’s early opener, the second half saw the Red Devils fall apart. Harvey Barnes netted twice within minutes, and Bruno Guimaraes piled on the misery with a fourth goal, sending United to their knees in a dismal collapse.
Thierry Henry, speaking on Night Football, didn’t hold back. He zeroed in on young defender Leny Yoro, who made headlines not for a heroic comeback, but for a baffling moment of indecision. After Barnes scored his second, Yoro appeared to pause and glance at the linesman — as if hoping for an offside that clearly wasn’t coming. A stunned Henry said, “I’ve never seen that before.”
The Arsenal legend was particularly confused by Yoro’s body language: “What are you looking at? It’s clearly a goal. He didn’t even try to recover.”
Henry wasn’t the only one questioning United’s defending. Roy Keane also tore into the team’s backline, singling out Diogo Dalot and goalkeeper Altay Bayindir for what he called “amateur mistakes.” According to Keane, the team lacked urgency, fight, and structure — everything Newcastle had in abundance.
As if that wasn’t enough, manager Ruben Amorim is now facing mounting pressure. The defeat not only drops United to 14th in the Premier League table, but mathematically guarantees their lowest ever points tally in the league’s history, even if they win their remaining matches. Their only hope for a Champions League spot now lies in the Europa League — and the upcoming second leg against Lyon is a do-or-die scenario.
Despite the backlash, Amorim dismissed the criticism in his post-match interview. “I understand the noise, but I don’t care,” he told reporters. “Losing games is the hardest part of this job. We have to focus on Lyon — it’s the most important match of our season.”
Meanwhile, fans are still digesting the fallout. Many are questioning whether young talents like Yoro were thrown into the fire too soon, and if the team has what it takes to recover from yet another setback. With their European hopes hanging by a thread, Manchester United’s next move could define their entire season — and perhaps Amorim’s future at the club.
