BREAKING NEWS ‼️: “Although he has apologised to the team but I’m still not happy because the fans are calling out the wrong person”:
Bruno Fernandes names ONE Man United teammate who was responsible for the club’s humiliating defeat to Newcastle United. BRUNO WANTS TO LEAVE IF THAT GUY IS NOT SOLD.
In a shocking turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Old Trafford and beyond, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has publicly pointed fingers at a fellow teammate for the club’s crushing defeat to Newcastle United—a loss that has further fueled the club’s spiraling season. In what many are calling a bold and controversial move, Fernandes not only called out the player but is reportedly considering his own future at the club unless decisive action is taken.
The 3-0 loss to Newcastle at St. James’ Park was yet another low point in what has been a dismal season for the Red Devils. Manchester United were outplayed, outclassed, and outworked in every area of the pitch. Fans were furious, pundits were bewildered, and now, the dressing room is officially boiling over.
While many supporters took to social media blaming manager Erik ten Hag or even Fernandes himself for the lackluster performance, the Portuguese midfielder has now spoken out to clarify that the fault lies elsewhere—and he’s not mincing words.
“He has apologised to the team but I’m still not happy because the fans are calling out the wrong person,” Bruno said in a post-match interview that has since gone viral. “I’m not here to throw someone under the bus, but this is not just about mistakes—it’s about responsibility. If you keep making the same errors, you’re not just costing the team, you’re disrespecting the shirt.”
Though Fernandes initially declined to name the individual, insiders close to the club have confirmed that the player in question is none other than Harry Maguire, the former United captain who has faced continued scrutiny from fans and pundits alike over his performances.
Sources from within the club have confirmed tensions have been growing between Bruno and Maguire for several months, but things reached a breaking point following the Newcastle defeat. Maguire was reportedly at fault for two of the goals, with his slow decision-making and positional awareness exploited time and again by Newcastle’s high-pressing forwards.
“I can’t lead this team properly if people don’t take ownership of their mistakes,” Fernandes added. “I’ve tried to support everyone, especially the ones under pressure, but this is Manchester United. You don’t get to keep failing and hide behind the badge.”
The fallout from Bruno’s comments has been immediate. Social media exploded with reactions, with many fans applauding his honesty and leadership, while others questioned whether such public criticism could do more harm than good in an already fractured locker room.
But perhaps the most stunning development in this saga is the ultimatum reportedly issued by Bruno to the Manchester United board: Sell Harry Maguire in the summer, or I leave.
According to a source close to the Portuguese midfielder, Bruno has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of accountability in the dressing room and feels that continuing with the same core group of underperforming players is a recipe for disaster.
“He doesn’t want to leave the club,” the source revealed. “But he also doesn’t want to waste his prime years playing in a team where certain players are not held to the same standards. Bruno has given everything for the badge—he expects the same in return.”
Club officials have yet to comment publicly on the situation, but behind the scenes, there is reportedly a sense of concern. Fernandes is not only one of the team’s best players but also one of its highest earners and most marketable stars. Losing him would be catastrophic—not just in terms of football but also financially.
This saga comes at a time when Manchester United’s problems are already mounting. With poor league form, a disappointing Champions League campaign, and questions about Ten Hag’s future, the last thing the club needs is a civil war between senior players.
Erik ten Hag, when asked about the situation, tried to remain neutral but admitted the dressing room was under stress.
“We win together, we lose together,” Ten Hag said during his post-match conference. “Of course, emotions are high. Everyone wants to do better. But we deal with internal matters internally. I have spoken to both players. We move forward as a team.”
But for many fans, this latest development confirms what has long been suspected—that the Manchester United dressing room is divided, and that the standards set during the Sir Alex Ferguson era are long gone.
Fernandes’ statement and the rumored ultimatum have sparked a wave of debate among the United faithful. Some believe Bruno is right to demand higher standards and call for accountability. Others feel that such issues should be handled behind closed doors and fear that the drama could derail the team even further.
One fan tweeted: “Bruno might be the only one who actually cares. If calling people out publicly is what it takes, so be it. Enough of this mediocrity.”
Another replied: “He’s the captain. This isn’t how you lead. You protect your team in public and deal with issues privately. This only divides us more.”
With just a few games left in the season and a potential managerial change looming, Manchester United are facing a summer of reckoning. Will the club back its captain and move on from underperforming players? Or will they risk losing Bruno Fernandes—a player who has, arguably, been their most consistent performer since joining from Sporting Lisbon?
The ball is in the club’s court.
One thing is certain: The drama at Manchester United is far from over.
Stay tuned for more updates as the story develops.
