Man Utd win FA Cup, Roy Keane 'changes his mind' to praise Bruno Fernandes.

[

Bruno Fernandes contributed an assist in Manchester United's 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City on May 25th. Former midfielder Roy Keane had criticized Bruno Fernandes this season and even called for the 29-year-old to be stripped of the captaincy, arguing that he wasn't a true leader. However, Roy Keane has now changed his stance on Bruno Fernandes.

“This was a true Manchester United performance. They played resiliently, defended tightly, and had some sharp attacks. Manchester United scored two goals. Manchester United had a bit of confidence going into the game with their two recent wins against Newcastle and Brighton. They showed their character,” Roy Keane said on ITV .

Now Roy Keane can't criticize Bruno Fernandes anymore.

"I've criticized Bruno over the years, but I'm glad I was proven wrong because his leadership today was outstanding. We always talk about how great a player Bruno is. I'm happy for the Man Utd fans. The team has gone through a few disappointing months and we're quick to criticize the players. Man City didn't have a good day, but Man Utd did," Roy Keane continued.

"We have to enjoy moments like these. Wembley Stadium is only great when you win," the former Man Utd player affirmed.

Manchester United disappointed by finishing 8th in the 2023-24 Premier League season. However, Bruno Fernandes was the team's standout player with 15 goals and 12 assists this season. The Portuguese star received the Manchester United Player of the Season award.

In an article in The Players' Tribune titled "Dear Man Utd," Bruno Fernandes confessed: "As captain, I simply try to be myself, Bruno. Not another legend or another personality, but myself. And for me, honesty is everything. The fans deserve honesty in the way you support us."

Bruno Fernandes' future remains uncertain as Manchester United are reportedly willing to sell the midfielder to raise funds for the summer transfer window. However, Bruno has emphasized his desire to stay at Old Trafford as long as the club demonstrates a commitment to its future development ambitions.
