As Manchester United ended their home season strong with a 3-2 Victory over Nottingham Forest, Captain Bruno Fernandes reaches a monumental personal achievement in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as the Portuguese international has numerous chances to progress his already unbelievable stats this season to being put in the record books. Multiple comments were spread across the world of social media by Manchester United Fans stating how United players such as Patrick Dorgu, Joshua Zirkzee and Bryan Mbeumo “Missing Countless Chances” to help achieve his Captains assist record.
Former Manchester United Captain Roy Keane SLAMS Bruno Fernandes for “Selfish” performance vs Nottingham Forest. On the latest episode of The Overlap Podcast, https://youtu.be/CZA3htw8gGU?si=iJ6MW9PIeVo-Cofg Roy Keane takes multiple hits at Bruno Fernandes as Gary Neville states “I just mentioned Brunos assist, do we need to give him huge plaudits for getting level with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne on 20 Assists? “Thats a massive achievement”.
Keane, on the other hand, was “raging” over the conversation of Fernandes’ record. In fact, Keane stated he was “Cringing” when he saw how the players and fans reacted to Mbuemos goal to make it 3-1 to the Red Devils. The former United Captain also questioned Fernandes’ mindset, adding, “He got interviewed after the match – and i was watching him – and everyone was talking about his assists, and even the players were… the game was about his assists.” “All the players, when we got the assist, going to him – what about the guy who scored the goal?”
Keane finally added “he wont be winning trophies, not with that mindset of the team yesterday, where they’re giving up two goals, and everyone’s getting all giddy because he’s equalled the record for assists. It’s mind boggling, it’s mind boggling, it’s a circus act!”
Mbeumo hand ball controversy leaves fans and pundits stunned by VAR decision.
As Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot whips a cross into the box, United forward Bryan Mbeumo takes a touch o the turn which seems to strike his arm. Mbeumo takes the shot anyway and it deflects across into Matheus Cunha’s path which he takes and puts United 2-1 up. As all forest players claim for a handball, United halt their celebrations, Co-commentator Gary Neville is adamant this goal should and will be disallowed by the Vide Assistant Referee Matt Donohue. Donohue advised the referee Salisbury to go to the screen and to disallow the goal. However, Salisbury decided the handball was accidental and stuck by his onfield decision.
Gary Neville seemed gobsmacked by the fact the goal was given as he said, “Goal Sands? Oh my goodness, wow. I think that is an absolute shocker in every single way.” As he then added “Honestly, that is ridiculous. The VAR has been clear; the player has hand-balled it.”
This turned out to be one of the most shocking premier league VAR decisions this season to certain fans and pundits, as it left thousands stunned by the final decision. Fortunately for the officials. This game didn’t have as much importance than some others coming in the next game week as Forest had secured their place in the premier league next season and Manchester United had guaranteed themselves a spot back in the Champions League next season.
