Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes has blasted those criticizing him by using Nicolas Pepe as an example to argue he gets held to a higher standard than most players. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, while he and Pepe were both having bad games in the EPL, the Ivorian was getting excused for still needing time to adapt, while he was getting blasted after those matches.
Bruno, however, added that he appreciated the scrutiny because it means that people only demanded more from him.
His words, “He [Pepe] had some bad games and everyone was saying, ‘He still has to adapt’, but when Bruno was having a bad game, it was just because he was moaning or not focused on the game. For me, that was good, because it meant that I was ready and that’s why they were demanding so much from me.”
