“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.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
