After the team’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford, former player Roy Keane criticized Bruno Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, saying the Portuguese international ought to be relieved of his captaincy.
“What I saw today, I would take the captaincy off Fernandes. He is not captain material,” Keane said on Sky Sports. “He’s whinging, he’s moaning. “I would start with that because the manager can control that. He is the opposite to what I would want as a captain.”
