Arsenal legend David Seaman has delivered a stinging assessment of Manchester United’s performance last season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Bruno Fernandes does not deserve the POTY award because it was very easy for him to stand out in a very rubbish MUFC team.
Seaman added that the accolades for Player of the Year should have gone to a star from the title-winning Gunners squad.
His words, “Bruno did well, but Manchester United weren’t good at all at the start of the season. It’s easy for someone to stand out like that when the rest of your team is rubbish, and they were. But with [David] Raya, [Declan] Rice and Gabriel, the whole team is performing well, yet they’re still standing out.
And then they went on and won something. For me, that’s where Player of the Year should come from – the winning team.
It’s really close for me between Declan Rice and David Raya. Goalkeepers don’t normally get it, but I would imagine that it’s going to be close between Bruno Fernandes and Declan. With David, though, he’s been unbelievable again this season. He’s made massive saves at really important times. I remember the Brighton save he made, which was unreal.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
