As a captain I’m not suppose to be saying this, but it’s getting overwhelming and he must leave the club…Amorim has to choose between me and him”: Manchester United’s captain Bruno Fernandes has named ONE particular teammate who’s responsible for the club’s poor form. BRUNO IS NOT HAPPY.
Manchester United’s turbulent season has escalated, with club captain Bruno Fernandes reportedly reaching a breaking point. Following a disappointing 2-2 draw against Everton, the Portuguese midfielder is said to have confronted manager Ruben Amorim, demanding a decision be made between himself and a particular teammate. While Fernandes has not publicly named the player, sources suggest his frustrations are directed at Mason Mount, who has struggled to meet expectations since his arrival from Chelsea.
Tensions in the Old Trafford dressing room have been mounting, and Fernandes, known for his leadership and competitive spirit, appears to have lost patience. Reports indicate that he voiced his concerns to Amorim in the locker room, making it clear that the ongoing situation is affecting the team’s performance.
Mount Under Scrutiny
Mount’s transition to Manchester United has been far from smooth, with inconsistent performances and injuries hampering his ability to make an impact. His role in the squad has been questioned, particularly after a key match against Nottingham Forest in December 2024, where Amorim controversially substituted Fernandes for Mount. The decision was explained as a tactical adjustment due to Fernandes showing signs of fatigue, but it sparked debate among fans and analysts alike.
During the Everton clash, Mount struggled to influence the game, losing possession multiple times and failing to provide the attacking spark United desperately needed. This has only fueled frustration within the squad, with senior players reportedly questioning why he continues to be a regular starter despite his lackluster form.
Growing Internal Conflict
Fernandes is not the only one concerned. Several senior players are said to be frustrated with Mount’s performances, believing his continued presence in the starting lineup is hindering the team’s ability to compete at the highest level. Amorim now faces a critical decision—whether to side with his captain or continue backing Mount, a move that could further divide the squad.
What Lies Ahead?
With crucial fixtures approaching, Manchester United must address these internal issues swiftly. Key questions remain:
Will Amorim prioritize Fernandes’ concerns? If the manager chooses to support his captain, it could signal a shift in team dynamics.
Can Mount turn things around? With his position under scrutiny, the midfielder must prove his worth or risk falling out of favor.
Is a squad overhaul inevitable? If tensions persist, the summer transfer window could bring major changes to the team.
