It is not an exaggeration to say that about the captain of MU. Watching Bruno Fernandes play football, youcan still see his rich technique and enthusiasm. But his efficiency is extremely low.

Man United just had a regrettable draw at Crystal Palace in round 5 of the Premier League 204/25. The Red Devils had 71% possession, 16 shots (5 on target) but did not score a single goal.

In addition to the excellence of Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, it is impossible not to mention the weakness in finishing of MU’s strikers. They completely dominated and had countless opportunities but unfortunately wasted them.

And among the most disappointing, captain Bruno Fernandes must be mentioned. The Portuguese midfielder still shows enthusiasm and rare technical qualities. However, his efficiency is quite low.

According to statistics in the 90 minutes on the field, Fernandes had no goals or assists. He also did not have a single shot on target, had 3 shots wide and 1 shot blocked.

The MU captain had only 113 touches, 73% pass accuracy (60/82 successful), created 2 clear chances but no accurate crosses after 7 attempts while only successful in 2 out of 9 long passes. In addition, he also missed 1 good chance, lost the ball 34 times. Fernandes’ expected goals index is only 0.36 while his expected assists index is 0.14.

Fernandes only has a few good statistics such as successfully dribbling 2/2 times, winning 7/9 duels, winning 1/1 aerial duels, having 1 clearance and 4 tackles.

It seems that Fernandes is not suitable for the possession-based game that MU applied in the match against Crystal Palace. This player’s decision-making ability is always problematic. Not to mention, Fernandes’ errors in handling the ball against Crystal Palace were also quite high, from passing to finishing.
