▲ Bruno Fernandes, who is called Manchester United’s ace ▲ 15 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League this season but 1 goal is all in the match against Big 6.
[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = Bruno Fernandez bowed his head once more in a confrontation with the Big 6.
Just stop Fernandes? Manchester United drew 0-0 in an away game against Chelsea. Both teams continued a rather frustrating game, and the game ended with a goalless draw at the end of an empty battle.

With Manchester United’s draw against Chelsea, Fernandes’ record against the strongest team hit the board again. Simply put, in this season’s big six confrontation, Fernandez did not score a single attacking point in the rest of the game except for a penalty kick. The match that scored the penalty kick was also against Tottenham, which lost 1-6.
As of this season’s Premier League, Fernandez has played in all 26 games played by Manchester United, including the West Ham Unite game as a substitute. The stat he recorded during this period was 15 goals and 11 assists.
It’s okay to be the best player of United. However, the record was very disappointing in the match against the strong team. In both matches against Chelsea and Arsenal, they both scored zero, as was against Liverpool and Manchester City.
Unfortunately, Manchester United also recorded 5 draws and 2 losses in 7 confrontations against Big 6 this season. And all 5 draws were also scoreless. In a game where Fernandez failed to score an attacking point, United ended the match without a score in the remaining five games, excluding two defeats.

Simple. As it was the starting point and center of the United attack, the problem was that the attack could not be resolved smoothly if only active interpersonal defense against Fernandes was made. When the space itself was blocked, Fernandes also showed a tumultuous appearance.
You can see it just by looking at the Chelsea game. When Chelsea pressed their opponents from the middle, Fernandez couldn’t show anything like this. Losing the midfield fight against Chelsea, Fernandez was able to create only one chance. It is in stark contrast to the appearance of having scored four consecutive attack points (four goals and three assists) from the match against Southampton to the confrontation with Newcastle.
Last season, Fernandes was a little fresh. In the confrontation with the Big 6, he scored attack points (1 goal and 2 assists) against Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham. But this season is different. Teams with a strong mid-centre are actively taking advantage of the fact that if Fernandes is blocked, the attack on Manchester United is not smooth.
