Bruno Fernandes hits out at Manchester United’s lack of control in derby loss

Bruno Fernandes hits out at Manchester United’s lack of control in derby loss

In a scathing assessment, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticized his team's lack of control in their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. Fernandes stated that each of the three goals conceded could have been avoided, highlighting defensive lapses that allowed City's players to exploit the space. The goals were scored by Phil Foden, Erling Haaland (twice), with Jérémy Doku and the City defense causing issues for United throughout the match. The defeat leaves United with only four points from their opening four games of the season, raising concerns about their defensive solidity and ability to compete at the highest level. Fernandes' comments underscore the need for United to improve their defensive organization and decision-making if they are to challenge for top honors this season. The team's performances will be under intense scrutiny as they look to bounce back from this disappointing derby loss.
