‘You are just not the right captain my friend. You are bad at this”- David de Gea give reason for his awful response to Bruno Fernandes’s dramatic late winner for Man Utd against Fulham’.

Former Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea, threw support behind Bruno Fernandes after his late winner at Fulham.

WHAT HAPPENED? De Gea mocked claims that Fernandes was not fit to be United captain after the Portuguese star’s goal won his side all three points at Fulham. Commenting jokingly on Fernandes’ Instagram post, he wrote: “You are not the right captain 🤐”.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The comment appears to hit back at legendary United skipper Roy Keane, who claimed Fernandes should be stripped of the captaincy. Keane’s comments on Sky Sports followed an abject performance from Fernandes as Manchester City ran out rampant 3-0 winners at Old Trafford in the Premier League last Sunday.

WHAT NEXT FOR DE GEA AND UNITED? De Gea remains a free agent following his exit from United in the summer. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s side turn their attentions to a must-win game away at FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
