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.”
The Premier League has called out Manchester City for a breach of its rules. The Premier League released an official statement which confirmed Manchester City’s breach of rules at the competition during the nine-season period.
The statement shared “Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs.
The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators.
– Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits.
– During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld).”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
