The Manchester United captain is the latest player to speak out on the current mood in the Old Trafford dressing room as Erik ten Hag fights to save his job.
The noises coming out of the current Manchester United dressing room have a worryingly familiar air to them.
The angst has now been cranked up a notch by a telling, not overly unexpected, concession from captain Bruno Fernandes. "It's not a positive moment," he said of United's mood while away on Portugal duty. "I have to live up to those expectations and to my standards. What I've been doing is not at all what I want for this season, because I haven't scored at the club yet. I hope that once I get there, I can score and help my club get back to winning ways and be at a good level."
Just over a year ago, several players were said to be becoming disillusioned with his tactics and in March, some were concerned with running drills in training amid a spate of persistent injuries. But things have, seemingly, now got a bit more blatant, as proven by three aforementioned players. But Fernandes' admission this week shows where United really are in context; just three wins from 10 games in all competitions, just two in the Premier League, a table rank of 14th and scoreless in three league outings.
