'Nothing about his game that suggests he can be a system player': Man United fans question Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes was hoping to start a new chapter of his Manchester United career under Erik ten Hag.

However, the Portuguese was back to his disappointing 2021/22 self with the Red Devils losing 2–1 to Brighton last week.

And some Man United supporters are now starting to wonder whether the 27-year-old has what it takes to be part of Ten Hag's system.

ayushreddevil9 (via RedCafe): "Nothing about his game that suggests he can be a system player. Keeps throwing s**t at the wall hoping it sticks. There are a lot of 'Moments FC' players in the squad. Bruno is an epitome of that group."

Womp: "Crazy how styles influence players. Looked our best and (only?) worthwhile player in a certain system under Ole when he first joined. IMO he was arguably by far our worst player on the pitch vs Brighton. Ruined a lot of good moments, struggled to keep the ball moving and maintain possession etc. Wouldn't be surprised to see him phased out if he doesn't significantly improve."

Mr Smith: "I still think he can improve with some proper coaching and some confidence, but he's infuriating to watch. Also playing him as the no. 10 and Eriksen as the False 9 made no sense, should have been the other way around. We saw what it could have brought when Eriksen dropped deep and found a really great run."

KD6-3.7: "I barely watched any full games last season but wow, I never realised just how bad he has got. He was always guilty of giving the ball away to much but he basically ruined every one of our attacks against Brighton."

Borys: "I said it before the season: Bruno and Wan-Bissaka will have hard time adjusting to different style of play. Even McTominay, if given a very specific role, might be effective under Ten Hag in some games. Bruno though... He can only play the final ball, he doesn't sense danger and can't keep possession."

Sarni: "When he joined, I joked to my mates who were getting excited about this that we will probably manage to ruin the guy and will sell him to Galatasaray for 50% of the price within two years. Then he started off really well, got great numbers and looked like a quality player. I think that Galatasaray transfer might be coming up though."
