Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been left out of the squad for the Premier League match against Crystal Palace, reportedly following a social media post perceived as mocking Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim.The incident occurred after Amorim emerged as a potential candidate to replace erik ten Hag as United manager.
The omission of Fernandes, a key player and captain for United, comes amid speculation linking Amorim with a move to Old Trafford.Fernandes seemingly responded to reports suggesting United were pursuing Amorim by liking a post on X (formerly Twitter) that ridiculed the Portuguese coach’s achievements. The post highlighted Amorim’s record of winning only one major trophy – the Portuguese League Cup – despite managing a significant budget at sporting.
According to sources, Fernandes’ actions did not sit well with club officials, leading to his exclusion from the matchday squad. The 29-year-old has been a consistent performer for United as joining from Sporting in January 2020, scoring 62 goals in 188 appearances.
The situation adds further uncertainty to the managerial position at United, with the club currently evaluating its options for the future. Ten Hag‘s position has come under scrutiny following a disappointing season, and the pursuit of a new manager has intensified in recent weeks. United currently sit eighth in the Premier League table and face a crucial match against Crystal Palace as they aim to secure European qualification for next season.
