What is wrong with Bruno Fernandes?
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readA day before Manchester United's trip to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, the club issued a statement on captain Bruno Fernandes. It spoke of an "injury niggle" but stressed there was "nothing to worry about".
His performance on the night suggested otherwise. Perhaps the reference to an injury was meant to mediate the criticism that has begun to engulf last year's Premier League player of the season.
His form has become an unexpected problem for Michael Carrick, a manifestation of where Man Utd stand more broadly. So often United's saviour, Fernandes is currently his side's scourge, the issue being that if he is not contributing offensively, he offers virtually nothing else.
