In their Premier League matchday 16 encounter, Manchester United unexpectedly suffered a 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth. It was a game where the Red Devils played poorly and easily conceded goals.

Furthermore, after this match, Man Utd suffered a major setback as Bruno Fernandes was suspended for the crucial match against Liverpool in the next round due to accumulating too many yellow cards.

In the 84th minute, the cameras focused on the Portuguese star. The midfielder ambled across the pitch with a disgruntled expression after receiving a yellow card for reacting to referee Peter Bankes.

On social media, Bruno Fernandes faced considerable criticism for making a basic mistake that put Manchester United in a difficult position in the match against Liverpool. Here are some comments from Twitter:

"Is Bruno Fernandes scared and trying to avoid Liverpool?"

"Perhaps Bruno Fernandes wanted to get a yellow card because he was afraid of facing Liverpool."

"Bruno Fernandes doesn't deserve to be Manchester United's captain."

Commenting on ESPN , former player Craig Burley relentlessly criticized Bruno Fernandes: "Manchester United are in real chaos. Regardless of the criticism and debate over whether he deserves to be captain of Manchester United, the situation hasn't changed. The club will have two crucial matches in a row against Bayern Munich and Liverpool."

Bruno Fernandes surely understands the pressure on manager Ten Hag. He's a key player and the club captain. The midfielder is also the star the whole team relies on. Basically, he received a yellow card for an inappropriate reaction. That's something Bruno Fernandes does often. And then, he caused the whole team to suffer the consequences by missing the game against Liverpool.

Coach Ten Hag faces another major problem when working with top teams. I think that was unacceptable behavior for the team captain. No one will forgive Bruno Fernandes' actions."

Looking ahead, Man Utd will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The Red Devils are currently bottom of Group A with 3 points, one point behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray. Their only chance of qualifying is to beat Bayern Munich and hope that the Copenhagen vs. Galatasaray match ends in a draw.
