Man United captain Bruno Fernandes did not hesitate to express his emotions on the field. And the Portuguese midfielder was just defended by Erik ten Hag after a heated argument in the draw with Bournemouth .

Famous for often expressing his emotions, it is not surprising that Bruno Fernandes once again received many mixed opinions off the field.

Since joining the Red Devils in January 2020, the Portuguese midfielder has always been an indispensable piece of the puzzle. And the double that helped Erik ten Hag’s team get a draw against Bournemouth last weekend is a specific example of the above statement.

However, it was not the performance, but the heated argument between Bruno and Onana at the beginning of the match that attracted attention.

Bruno and Onana had a heated argument during the draw against Bournemouth.

However, Ten Hag spoke up to defend Bruno and affirmed that this player was only doing the captain’s duty. Explaining to Match of the Day, the Dutch teacher said: “Scoring a double, very creative, it’s true that he brings a lot of energy to the team.

He plays like a true captain, brings a lot of energy and we are very satisfied with that. And although the team was disappointed with the result, he expressed it.

We have to win matches, but we have lost too many unnecessary points in recent matches.”

Erik ten Hag confirmed that Bruno was doing his captain’s duty.

While receiving many concerns from experts, Ten Hag never doubted Bruno’s leadership ability. Since his time at Sporting Lisbon , this star has not been afraid to voice his opinion to his teammates.

Previously, Record posted a recording on WhatsApp containing Bruno complaining about the attitude of his teammates while playing in Lisbon.

In it, Bruno said: “Hey man, I don’t want to talk! I think some players have very bad attitudes. Not through each specific gesture, but it’s the type of attitude within them.

There are players who lack aggressiveness and do not want to play for this club. If so, just let them speak their mind and die. They are here all season just to get paid, after that there is no need to care about anything else.

Damn your attitude, go away!”

Bruno has been willing to voice his opinion since he was at Sporting Lisbon.

Bruno’s gestures have become a much-discussed topic over the past few years. But Sky Sports expert Jamie Redknapp chose to defend the Man United captain after the match against Bournemouth.

Redknapp said: “Bruno is often criticized a lot. Some things I understand, but believe it’s unfair. When I watch him play, I see a truly dedicated player. 

It is true that there is disappointment, sometimes in every small gesture, he is ready to complain to his teammates.

But if it were me, or coach Ten Hag wanted to continue his job, Bruno is the type of player you want to build a team around. He is a player who always wants to create what he thinks.”
