Aldridge Criticizes Fernandes as Captain…
Bruno Fernandes received a verbal red card from former Liverpool striker John Aldridge, who likened his captaincy to a toddler running a candy shop. Aldridge was not amused by Fernandes wearing the Manchester United armband, considering legends like Roy Keane and Bryan Robson had once worn it. “Manchester United would be a better team if they replaced Bruno as captain,” Aldridge jested, comparing the situation to putting a squirrel in charge of a nut factory! He remarked, “Fernandes’ antics are more childish than a kindergarten classroom during recess.”
Aldridge wasn’t pulling any punches, suggesting even referees might book Fernandes for whining more than a grandma playing bingo. He argued that Fernandes embodies Manchester United’s recent missteps and that a new captain would set them on a better path. On the managerial front, Aldridge questioned Ruben Amorim’s future, likening his fate to a coin flip at an all-you-can-eat buffet—anything could tip the balance! However, he acknowledged things could change as swiftly as a cat on a hot tin roof, recalling how Sir Alex Ferguson once escaped dismissal by the skin of his teeth.
