Despite the goal and assist in the draw with Galatasaray, the performance of the Portuguese midfielder did not please everyone.
Despite being decisive in the draw between Galatasaray and Manchester United (3-3), with a goal and an assist, Bruno Fernandes' performance seems to have still not convinced the Red Devils' universe.
After the final whistle, Paul Scholes, the legendary English club midfielder, analyzed the match and again criticized the Portuguese international, this time for the 'two stupid fouls' he committed, which led to two goals for the Turkish team.
'I know he talked about mistakes [of the team] in the post-match interview, but he made two mistakes tonight [yesterday] by committing two stupid fouls that resulted in two goals. The whole team, including him as captain, needs to take responsibility. It's a game they should have won, but they can't keep a clean sheet. The defense is a mess, the goalkeeper is making mistakes, Bruno is committing cheap fouls... These are things that always make the games more difficult and don't need to happen,' the Englishman said, speaking to 'TNT Sports'.
Although Onana looked bad in the second goal for Galatasaray, where he 'palmated' the ball into his own net, Owen Hargreaves, the former English international, forgave his error. 'He thinks Martial is going to touch the ball and that confuses him. It was something that also happened in Munich. I don't know anything about being a goalkeeper, but his technique seems a bit unconventional,' he justified, before Peter Schmeichel also shared his opinion.
'I think the defense was fine, there was little more they could do. The goalkeeper's mistakes were too costly. Every time a goalkeeper makes a mistake, it's a goal,' said the former Danish goalkeeper, who played for Sporting between 1999 and 2001.
With this draw, Manchester United further complicates their chances for the next phase of the Champions League. The Red Devils are in the last place in Group A with one game remaining, with 4 points, one less than Galatasaray and Copenhagen (5). In the final round of the competition, Ten Hag's team hosts Bayern Munich, the group leader with 13 points.
