Fernandes took over the position from Harry Maguire when the England defender was permanently removed from the starting 11 by Dutch boss Eric ten Hag. And as a result, the golden-blooded football star was attacked as not being worthy.
As far as Roy Keane, former captain of The Theater of Dreams has criticized Fernandes many times for not being the captain of Manchester United due to his tendency to yell at referees. Until recently, Paul Ince, another former captain of the Red Devils, stated that Fernandes was not suitable for such an important role as he cared more about himself than his teammates.
Continuing to be criticized, Fernandes has opened his mouth to respond that everyone in the Red Devils team is happy that he is captain.
“You don’t like being criticized. And I think everyone is like this too. But at the same time You have to do what’s best for the team. I may not always do my best. But in my head at that time It was the right choice,” Fernandes said on 28 November.
“I think it’s normal when you play for Manchester United and you get criticized whether you’re doing well or bad. So I had to deal with it. It’s been a normal thing since I came to the club.’
“When the results are not good enough And the form is not as good as everyone expected. The role made me a target.”
“Even now I am the captain. But everything is still the same. I care about the team and the staff. Including everyone I get to work with every day. I am sure they are happy with me.”
“I am open with everyone. And so far no one has had a problem with me. I think everyone is happy to have me as the leader.”
As for awarding a penalty kick to Marcus Rashford to shoot instead in the latest Premier League match, where the Red Devils defeated Everton 3-0, Fernandes said, “We have a list of players who will shoot a penalty kick And there is no prioritizing, one, two, three.”
“It’s because when I came to the club, Marcus was already a penalty taker. But he was injured when I moved here. And I started doing penalty shootout duties. He respected me by telling me to continue. But sometimes I have to hand over duties to others. And there are times when we hand each other responsibilities.”
“It’s not like it has to be me or him forever. It could be someone who is confident they can put the ball in the goal. We’re not always 100% sure. I might miss a shot, who knows!”
