BREAKING NEWS: Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United’s captain, has pointed the finger at a teammate for the team’s draw against Chelsea. He stated, “We could have won the game, but he didn’t pass to me, lost possession three times, and missed an open goal. He’s the issue we’re facing at Manchester United.”

Bruno Fernandes voiced his disappointment after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford, reflecting the frustration felt by the team. The match ended in a missed opportunity, as United couldn’t hold onto a late lead that would have lifted them in the Premier League standings.

The game’s momentum shifted when Fernandes gave United the lead in the 70th minute with his first Premier League goal of the season, a penalty that broke his scoring drought. This goal provided a personal breakthrough for Fernandes, who has struggled to find the net as frequently this season.

Yet the advantage was short-lived. Just four minutes later, Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo scored a well-placed low volley past United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana, equalizing for Chelsea. The Ecuadorian midfielder capitalized on United’s weak defense during a corner, seizing the chance to bring his team level.

This draw added to United’s recent disappointments, highlighting yet another match where they fell short of securing three points. In their last six Premier League matches, United has only managed one win, leaving them in a lowly 13th place.

These continued setbacks have impacted team morale, with Fernandes admitting that the squad felt deflated after losing another chance to win.

In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Fernandes opened up about his mixed feelings. He acknowledged the personal significance of his goal, saying, “Everyone knows how much I wanted that goal,” and emphasized the need to contribute more with goals and assists.

Although Fernandes has managed to score in cup games, his league performances have fallen below his usual standards, adding to his frustration.

The dressing room atmosphere after the match was reportedly downcast. Fernandes described the mood as one of “a lot of disappointment,” as the team had hoped to secure a victory against Chelsea, who have also been struggling this season. “We could have won the game,” he noted, expressing the feeling that United had missed a crucial opportunity.

This sense of unfulfilled potential has become a recurring issue, leaving both players and fans questioning what changes are needed to turn the season around.
