EXPERT OPINION

ESPN’s Mark Ogden on comments made this week by Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes’ comments bear similarities to [Liverpool’s Mohamed] Salah said earlier this month that he had been “thrown under the bus” by the club and had “earned the right” to play, despite being dropped by manager Arne Slot.

Neither Salah nor Fernandes considered the bigger picture when discussing their own situation. Salah had been dropped because his form had deteriorated to the point that Slot had to drop him from the team. United were prepared to get rid of Fernandes because the team – of which he has long been a central figure – had just recorded their worst result in the Premier League, and parting ways with the captain offered a quick solution to their financial problems.

Fernandes is United’s best player and continues to perform at the team’s highest level – a point underlined by his superb free-kick in the 4-4 Premier League draw with Bournemouth on Monday. But the 31-year-old could use a history lesson when it comes to clubs’ ability to move forward, and often prosper, when they part ways with their biggest stars.

At United alone, players far more important and successful than Fernandes, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona, left the club and were replaced by substitutes who helped win the Premier League and Champions League titles.
