Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes openly criticized Manchester United's inner circle. Fans were furious at his actions.

Britain's Daily Mail reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Bruno gave an honest evaluation of Manchester United's atmosphere amid the worst start of the season'

Manchester United has been having a difficult time with poor performance since the beginning of this season. It ended in a draw against Aston Villa just before the A-match in October, with no wins in the last five official matches, and the league standings remained in 14th place.

Along with Manchester United's performance, the squad and coach Erik ten Hag were also criticized. It was Ten Hach who received the most criticism, but Bruno, the captain, could not avoid responsibility either.

Bruno has also had two instances in recent games where his exit has ruined his team's game. In his last league sixth round match against Tottenham, Bruno was sent off directly for hitting James Maddison in the calf. Fortunately, the post-mortem punishment was canceled and he was able to play again in the league.

However, the exit problem also occurred in the Europa League. In the Europa League match against Porto, Bruno added a warning due to his high foot during an unreasonable aerial ball contest in front of the opponent's gate, resulting in a cumulative exit from the warning. Bruno later claimed on his personal SNS that he was disappointed the most, saying "No one is more disappointed with this mistake than I am."

Following the exit, Manchester United fans were embarrassed by interviews this time. Bruno recently joined the Portuguese national team for an A-match in October and conducted an interview. When asked about Manchester United in an interview, Bruno said "It's not a positive atmosphere. "We are not winning the game, and the space of the national team is completely different." He publicly pointed out the atmosphere inside Manchester United and even pointed it out with the Portuguese national team.

Then "I'm in Portugal, I speak my language, and the food is more delicious. He showed a good level in the national team. I feel good, and I can enjoy a high level of soccer with my team's dynamism and my skills"He left a comment as if his team Manchester United was not good enough compared to the national team."

Regarding returning to Manchester United after the A-match, "We have to live up to expectations. Bruno, who said, "I hope it will help us to get back to the team and maintain a high standard..." but there was no denying that some of his comments were inappropriate as United's captain.

Manchester United fans were furious when Bruno's story was told. The fans are saying, `His leadership is really terrible", "It's time to sell him","Not a leader, not a team player", "This club's claim is stupid..." he pointed out.

Following the recent exit incident, Bruno's interview sparked anger among fans. If this problem continues to be repeated, it is more likely that it will be fans, not themselves, who are disappointed in Bruno.
