“He’s the most crucial player” – Evra Warns Man United Not to Lose Fernandes
Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has urged the club’s top brass not to make a costly mistake this summer—losing Bruno Fernandes. Evra stressed that United must do everything possible to keep their captain at Old Trafford, especially with Saudi clubs circling.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the former defender said Fernandes is the heart of the team and letting him go would be a terrible move. He emphasized that the Portuguese playmaker is a major reason the Red Devils reached the Europa League final and that age shouldn’t even be a talking point.
“I’ve heard about the big money offers coming from Saudi for Bruno, but selling him now would be a huge mistake,” he said. “People talk about him turning 30, but that doesn’t matter. He’s the most crucial player in that squad. Without him, United probably wouldn’t have made it this far.”
Despite a rocky league season where they hovered close to the relegation zone, Manchester United will take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on May 21 in Bilbao.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
