“The Captain Has to Do More” – Heskey Criticizes Leadership at Manchester United
Emile Heskey, the former Liverpool striker, has criticized Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, labeling him the flop of the season.
The ex-England international pointed out that the Portuguese midfielder, who currently wears the captain’s armband, has failed to deliver the level of leadership expected of him.
In an interview with Instant Casino, Heskey said, “Bruno Fernandes, in past seasons, has been a key player, consistently scoring goals and driving the team forward.
However, this season, as captain, I expected a lot more from him.
I want to see him take charge on the field, show more leadership, and set a stronger example for the team.”
Heskey’s criticism is centered around Fernandes’ lack of consistency, especially given his role as the club’s captain.
He emphasized that a good captain should lead by example, showing energy, aggression, and a willingness to fight for the team’s success.
“So far this season, one good performance against Liverpool is not enough.
For a player in Fernandes’ position, the bare minimum should be running hard, tackling, and showing aggression.
The captain should be the one who sets the tone for others to follow, but I don’t think he’s done that this season,” Heskey continued.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
