Bruno Fernandes is becoming the cause of the Red Devils' failures this season when he does not do his job properly on the field.
Not only Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund or Antony are disappointing, their captain Bruno Fernandes is also showing an extremely disappointed face this season.
Manchester United once lived by Bruno's breath when the former Sporting Lisbon midfielder shined in his first season at Old Trafford with 28 goals and 17 assists after 58 matches. There was a time when fans put him on the scale to compare with one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League at that time, Kevin De Bruyne.

However, his weakness began to become apparent this season when opponents understood Bruno too well and easily came up with ways to separate the club captain from the strikers. Fans can easily see how the 29-year-old midfielder gradually becomes stuck in creating or putting the ball into the net when Bruno just innocuously tries to stuff the ball into the 16m50 box.
A lot of risky passes mean a low pass success rate, which is accurate when Bruno only completed 79.2% of his passes. The Manchester United captain also did not put his teammates in favorable shooting positions like in previous seasons when the strikers were often out of reach or corrected after receiving a pass from him.
Bruno this season is associated with moving wide to get more of the ball. In the context of Casemiro's injury, Amrabat is not performing properly, and McTominay is not a scanner and does not know how to pass, Fernandes often tends to drop deep to get more of the ball.
However, this invisibly caused Man Utd's system to crumble as the players playing next to him did not know how to do much other than pass the ball to the Portuguese midfielder. This makes the Red Devils' moves to the ball more predictable than ever.
The Portuguese player then also left his mark on the next two seasons of the Red Devils when he became the heart of the club's playing style. Looking at Manchester United, people always think of a struggling Bruno Fernandes.

Besides, having to sit too deep makes it difficult for him to focus all his energy on creating and scoring goals. This is completely valid as Man Utd's current captain only has 3 goals and 3 assists in all competitions. Watching Bruno run like crazy from the away field to the home field to commit a foul in a counter-attack situation, one has to question what McTominay is doing in that situation?
Right now, MU needs the return of Casemiro or they have to enter the transfer market to bring in a new scanner to create more space for Bruno Fernandes to play. The Portuguese midfielder is a pure conductor, forcing Bruno to move widely and participate in defense like Wayne Rooney in the past will greatly hinder his ability to play football.
