Bruno Fernandes is absolutely unhappy about the rumors that he would have carried on in the Manchester United dressing room. According to some English and Portuguese media, the midfielder would have let himself go during the 1-6 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at half-time, with a 1-4 score, and expressed his disappointment about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, among others. Fernandes, however, firmly denies that there was any major conflict.

“There has been a lot of speculation,” Fernandes begins Sports TV after Portugal’s 3-0 victory against Sweden in the Nations League. “First: it was a discussion between teammates. It was a discussion with only one teammate, Victor Lindelöf. What has been said is absolutely not true. Unfortunately, these rumors can cause instability within the player group.”

“It is true that I was changed at half-time, but that was a technical consideration,” the playmaker continues. “The coach said that the game was practically over and that we still had many games scheduled. I understood that. I was not happy about it, but I did not say anything else that could cause negativity within the group. “

In the first three Premier League games of this season, United has collected only three points. Fernandes acknowledges that the team must perform better, but emphasizes again that there is no bad atmosphere. “Don’t use my name or the name of the coach or any of my teammates to try and cause problems at United. The atmosphere is good and the team is ready to answer the next game (Saturday against Newcastle United, ed.). to give.”
