Journalist slams Bruno Fernandes for backing Amorim: not a real captain | OneFootball

is once again under fire in England, after Adrian Durham launched a scathing attack on the Manchester United captain, both on and off the pitch. Bruno Fernandes’ support for Ruben Amorim after his departure sparked considerable outrage from the English journalist.

“He said the club made a mistake by sacking Amorim. That is not a real captain. He should be ashamed. Is he really backing what is going on at the club?” Durham asked on TalkSport radio, delivering harsh criticism of the Portuguese player’s leadership.

The British journalist did not hold back and also began by downplaying the Portuguese international’s numbers - who could break a Premier League record. “Bruno Fernandes’ assists should come with an asterisk. They are a bit of a guide. Yes, you can use them, fine, but what kind of assist was that? A pass to someone who then scores a screamer? Does that really count for that much?”, he said.

Adrian Durham went even further, ridiculing the idea of the midfielder being a candidate for player of the year. “Someone told me that and I haven’t laughed so much since I saw a ridiculous video in a bar. The people who drool over him are a complete joke”, he said.

To finish, the journalist was ruthless. “He is basically taking a year-long holiday from football. He is not even going to play 40 matches. It is pathetic. There are players with 50 matches and more still to come... ‘Captain Calamity’ can throw the assists in the bin. He only got them because he has a week off between games, something top players do not have,” he concluded.
