FRUSTRATED RONALDO AND BRUNO FERNANDES AT MANCHESTER UNITED
Frustrated Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United has been far coming, The two senior players believed to be unhappy with recent developments at Manchester United. The poor performance in the Manchester derby on Saturday resulted in a fourth defeat in the last six Premier League games. It was the third of three games manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got graced to turn things around after losing 5-0 at home to Liverpool last month.
Who do you think is a major cause for Frustrated Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes?
United have scaled through each year under Solskjaer since he was appointed, initially on an interim basis, as successor to Jose Mourinho in December 2018.
Summer spending on Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Cristiano Ronaldo to improve the squad, even fostered ambitions of a potential first genuine Premier League title challenge for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Results and performances so far have fallen far short of those hopes and expectations after these signings.
Fernandes scored 28 goals in all competitions last season and almost single-handedly revolutionized the team since arrival. He is among the players concerned about no clear plan by Solskjaer and his staff. Others have also expressed concerns about too many young coaches ‘learning on the job’.
Regarding Ronaldo, the 36-year-old returning Old Trafford legend is ‘shocked’ at how far standards at United have fallen since he left in 2009. He was aware that things had changed in those 12 years he spent in Madrid and Turin, but not to the extent they have.
Other feelings of discontent towards Solskjaer from within the dressing room have shown to be ‘favoritism’ towards certain players; he is too soft on the squad as a whole. The squad needs a more firm presence to direct the team and utilize the players in getting back into winning ways. The squad expects and improvement for the team to stay in the title race.
