Fans on X have blasted Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes after he struggled to make an impact during their 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs ended their 17-year trophy drought as they won the UEFA Europa League, following their clash at the San Mames Barria on Wednesday, May 21.
After a gritty first half from both sides, Tottenham broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute via Brennan Johnson's header. Manchester United desperately attempted to get back into the game in the second half but were denied by Spurs' impressive defense. Moreover, Micky Van de Ven made a breathtaking goal-line clearance to deny Rasmus Hojlund (68'), ensuring his side kept a clean sheet.
Bruno Fernandes started alongside Casemiro in midfield for Manchester United, playing all 90 minutes. Despite creating two chances, he was poor on the ball, losing possession 27 times, and completing 36 passes from an attempted 53 (68 percent accuracy).
The 30-year-old also landed one shot on target from four attempts, missing one big chance in the process. Additionally, Fernandes lost six duels and delivered just two accurate crosses from an attempted nine (22 percent accuracy).
