He has spoken out
Bruno Fernandes has delivered a message on Casemiro after he was substituted for Manchester United against Liverpool yesterday.
Subject to mass criticism during and after the game, the Brazilian international endured a tough first-half before being hooked by Erik ten Hag.
His wife has since defended him in a post which has today gone viral.
Now, United’s skipper Fernandes has gone on to defend his fellow midfield colleague:
“He knows that he’s going to get some [criticism] now after the game, but he has played for the two best clubs in the world, so he’s used to that. It’s not going to be a problem for him to deal with that.”
The Portuguese international also went on to say:
“We don’t need to be pointing fingers at everyone, that won’t help us now.
“What’s the point in saying Casemiro lost the ball or Kobbie [Mainoo] lost the ball? They lost the ball because they wanted to be brave. It’s part of football. Don’t make it individual.”
