Some Manchester United fans are divided over captain Bruno Fernandes' future at Old Trafford, with one side calling for him to be sold and the other defending his leadership.
The debate started online after United’s latest poor result. While many still back the Portuguese midfielder, a section of supporters say the club will never build a balanced midfield with him in the team.
Despite the criticism, Fernandes was outstanding last season. He swept the 2025-26 club awards and was named Player of the Season by both fans and players.
Some Fans Say Bruno Makes United Unstable
Supporters on social media argue that Fernandes' high-risk, high-reward style leaves gaps in midfield and makes United too open against top teams.
Many believe the club needs a more disciplined, defensive midfielder to compete for the Premier League and Champions League.
"We will NEVER build a balanced midfield as long as Bruno is on the pitch. We need to sell him and start over."
Bruno's Trophy Record At United
Since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020, the 31-year-old has carried United's attack but lifted just 2 trophies.
The FA Cup win in 2024 and Carabao Cup in 2023 are the only silverware during his time as captain, which frustrates some fans who expect more.
Bruno Still Backing New Signings
Even amid the debate, Fernandes has been supporting the new players. He recently hailed £70m signing Carlos Baleba as "young and exciting" and said he will be important for United.
Whether the club listens to the critics remains to be seen, but the debate around Bruno's future is only getting louder.
