Manchester United legend, Teddy Sheringham has come out to say that Bruno Fernandes is not captain material. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he doesn’t really believe in the Portuguese midfielder’s leadership qualities, just like he doesn’t feel Martin Odegaard should be captain at Arsenal.
Teddy added that while they are both fantastic players for their different clubs, they shouldn’t be wearing the armband.
His words, “I think in terms of whether or not Bruno Fernandes is captain material for Manchester United, then I agree with [Keane] a bit on that front. It’s similar to Martin Odegaard at Arsenal. I think that they’re both fantastic players for their clubs, and I love them, I love the way they play.
But they’re not real captain material, they’re missing leadership qualities. They’re closer to flair players that can come and go over the course of a season. Two top players, but not captains in the Keano or Adams mould for me.”
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.
