Bruno Fernandes Wins PFA POTY - And Spends All Week Getting Criticised | Thoughts & Reaction

from The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast · host Scott Saunders

Bruno Fernandes has been named PFA Players' Player of the Year after an extraordinary season for Manchester United — completing a clean sweep of the major individual awards after being voted the Premier League's best player by his fellow professionals. And yet, just days earlier, Bruno found himself at the centre of criticism following United's opening defeat at Hull, with Paul Scholes even suggesting the captain should have kept quiet after the game and social media swirling with criticism for the United captain. Scott Saunders looks into why the debate around Fernandes continues despite the numbers, performances and recognition from his peers, offers thoughts on the criticism since and while....while some of it might be legitimate concern, it is not smart to write Bruno off and demand his sale at this precise moment. There's also discussion of the Premier League's potential shift towards lower-possession football, and Bruno's crucial role within it - even in the face of the criticism he's currently getting.
