Harsh words from Simon Jordan against Bruno Fernandes and the Manchester United squad. The former owner of Crystal Palace is now a radio commentator TalkSPORT And he spoke of the imminent renewal of the contract by the Portuguese midfielder, who will triple his salary, starting to earn around 15 million euros a year.
“I’m disappointed with Bruno. There was a time when he was a talisman for the team but it didn’t last long. I don’t understand why they renewed contracts without knowing who the next coach will be and the players they will have. Bruno Fernandes has a three-year contract and his performance and that of the entire team is not worthy of being rewarded. Everyone, including him, carried a cricket bat over their heads to wake up from life and understand what they had to do for the club,” the businessman shot.
“I can’t get the image of his match against Watford out of my head, as he did so poorly. Bruno Fernandes is not a leader, he doesn’t work without the ball, he doesn’t hold back. He’s a luxury player and Manchester United need more committed players. He’s some of the aspects that explain why not The team worked collectively,” Simon Jordan continued, leaving a tip to the managers of Old Trafford.
“I look back and remember names like Roy Keane, Vidic, Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes. Manchester United need people like that, who know what this club represents, it is not a lightweight like Bruno Fernandes that they will be able to reach the level of Liverpool and Manchester City.”
