Portuguese international midfielder Bruno Fernandes confessed this Wednesday that he did not have more data that would allow him to unravel more elements of the absence of compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo from Man’s training. United, where he has yet to reappear, having missed the English club’s tour of Asia.
“I don’t know what’s going on: the best thing is to ask him. I don’t even want to be involved in the situation! We have to respect the decisions of each one”, said Bruno Fernandes to British journalists, quoted on this day by the Manchester Evening News.
“I don’t know what Cristiano said to the club, or to the coach. I don’t know what’s on his mind, but we have to respect his space. What we do know is that he will have had some family problems, so we have to respect his space, give him space », was the compatriot’s appeal in the face of speculation that CR7’s prolonged absence from training has given rise.
Asked if it will be important for the ‘red devils’ to keep CR7 in their ranks, Bruno Fernandes left the decision to whoever competes.
“I don’t know. Obviously Cristiano was our top scorer last season [2021/22], brought goals to the team, but of course it’s not up to me to judge: it’s up to the club to make choices, just like Cristiano makes his own. Not knowing what’s on his mind: I only saw this on the news about him wanting to go out. I asked him nothing to that effect», he said.
“The only thing I asked Cristiano when he didn’t show up [no regresso aos treinos, há mais de duas semanas] was if all was well with the family. He told me what was going on. That was all, nothing more», concluded the 27-year-old Portuguese international midfielder, without revealing more details of the mysterious absence and explanation for the behavior of CR7, whose non-attendance is still an omitted reason for his teammates at Old Trafford.
