Roy Keane recently made a lengthy assessment of how Bruno Fernandes is costing Manchester United with his carelessness in certain situations.
On the Stick to Football podcast, the former Man United captain said: "If you watch him [Bruno] at international level, he does the same [with floating around]. It can’t all be the coaches and managers.
"There is a player out there and if he’s doing all that stuff and producing magic, you almost forgive him but if you’re in a struggling team [Man United] and you’re doing all that stuff, that’s where it stands out and you go ‘you’re killing us, you’re costing us’."
Keane also made an unflattering comparison with Paul Pogba, adding: "I always used to describe Pogba a bit like this – I think there’s a difference between a great talent and a great player.
"Pogba was a great talent, but I didn’t think he was a great player and the same with Bruno Fernandes.
"No doubt the talent is there but there’s just something [missing] and the great players, it’s in their head of where they need to be whether it’s defensively or to receive the ball."
Bruno has often come under flak for his misplaced passes and also his emotional outbursts with referees.
The captain has scored five goals and assisted five more across competitions this season. While his goal output has reduced compared to other terms, Bruno is still a key member of the squad.
Like always, he's among the players with the most minutes and also one of the first names on the team sheet. He must be doing something better than Pogba.
