Dion Dublin Says Bruno Fernandes is the Only Man U Player Who Deserves His Spot
Former Manchester United star Dion Dublin has singled out Bruno Fernandes as the only player currently deserving of his spot in the team.
His remarks came after Manchester United endured a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Dublin, who played for United in the early 1990s, expressed frustration over the team’s lackluster performance, emphasizing that Fernandes was the only one showing true effort on the pitch.
“Bruno Fernandes is trying to do everything himself. The quality I saw from the rest of the team simply wasn’t good enough,” Dublin stated during an appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live.
The match started poorly for the Red Devils, with Brighton taking an early lead through Yankuba Minteh just five minutes in.
Kaoru Mitoma doubled the visitors’ advantage in the 60th minute, and Georginio Rutter sealed the win in the 76th, leaving United fans disheartened.
Fernandes provided United’s only response, converting a penalty in the 23rd minute, which also marked their sole shot on target throughout the game.
Dublin didn’t hold back in his criticism, “Brighton deserved the win. They were sharper, stronger, and more determined,” he remarked.
He also noted United’s inability to sustain pressure, “There are these 10-minute spells where you think, ‘This is it,’ but then it fades. Bruno, though, deserves credit. He’s everywhere on the pitch, giving everything.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
