# Manchester United blast Bruno Fernandes

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/) fans have slammed the performance of captain Bruno Fernandes as[Erik ten Hag](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/erik-ten-hag/)‘s men succumbed to a 7-0 humbling at Anfield on Sunday.**

### The Lowdown: United thumped…

The Red Devils were thumped at Anfield as Ten Hag endured a real night to forget on Merseyside.

Three Liverpool stars bagged a brace for Jurgen Klopp’s side with Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunex and Mohamed Salah all notching two a piece before Roberto Firmino got in on the act.

The result severely dampens Man United’s recent impressive run and gifts Liverpool an almighty lift in their race for a [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) top four finish.

### The Latest: Fans slam Bruno Fernandes…

Taking to Twitter during their humiliation, United supporters appeared less than impressed with Fernandes – calling it one of his worst performances of the campaign.

The 28-year-old attracted criticism from former legend Roy Keane who [questioned](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1632454436634214401) his body language throughout, with these supporters in total agreement as they replied.

They said:

*“We’ll never move forward with that clown in the team. Get rid.” – [@MikaelScofield\_](https://twitter.com/MikaelScofield_/status/1632455341161041920)*

*“He was not in the game for a second.” –* [*@Ihechiluru162*](https://twitter.com/Ihechiluru162/status/1632480186208772100)

*“There were a lot of pathetic performances today, but for me the worst one was Fernandes. A guy who is supposed to be a leader resorted to diving and whining. There was even a moment where someone ran past him and he didnt bother following them.” –* [*@RunkeGlenn*](https://twitter.com/RunkeGlenn/status/1632455094292606977)

*“Him and Rashford, shocking!!!” – [@Mufc\_AS](https://twitter.com/Mufc_AS/status/1632454611335258119)*

*“Flop of the match in most of the games so far this season, but yet fans adore him because of the passion he shows. Fernandes should not be a starter quality at a big club like manutd. He can start for clubs like sporting cp, but not manutd.” –* [@am\_nimf](https://twitter.com/am_nimf/status/1632465045580906497)

*“Absolutely… I was disgusted.”* – [@iam\_obago](https://twitter.com/iam_obago/status/1632457571981225985)

### The Verdict: Back to the drawing board…

United and ten Hag must somehow now resurrect the confidence and self belief to swiftly move past what was a horror result.

Next up, Real Betis in the Europa League – a match which will go some way in determining whether United can professionally get back to winning ways and kickstart a potential run in Europe.
