NOT GOOD ENOUGH:Fans fume at Bruno's role in Nottingham winning goal

Manchester United supporters are enraged with Bruno Fernandes after his display against Nottingham Forest.

The captain of the Red Devils didn't perform at his peak as Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat at the City Ground, marking their ninth loss in the Premier League season.

Fernandes, aged 29, surrendered possession 28 instances throughout the game—surpassing any other player on the field by at least eight occasions.

Additionally, certain supporters believed he bore responsibility for Forest's decisive goal, skillfully executed by Morgan Gibbs-White.

As Manchester United sought a victory following Marcus Rashford's equalizer to Nicolas Dominguez's initial goal, Rasmus Hojlund's attempt was adeptly thwarted by goalkeeper Matt Turner.

Upon the rebound, Amad Diallo executed a square pass to Fernandes within the penalty area, yet the Red Devils' captain curiously opted to sidestep the ball instead of making a controlled touch.

Forest midfielder Ryan Yates seized possession and dashed unopposed through the central part of the field. Subsequently, he located former United standout Anthony Elanga.

Yates set up Gibbs-White, who skillfully delivered the ball into the lower corner from beyond the penalty area, securing back-to-back victories for Nuno Espirito Santo's team.

Criticism from United fans targeted Fernandes for both his involvement in the goal and his overall performance.

A supporter expressed, "The decisive moment for Forest originated from Fernandes' perplexing choice to step over the ball in the box, despite having no one behind him. Opting for a shot, a touch (possibly winning a penalty), or playing it back to Diallo were three markedly superior alternatives."

"Evaluated his performance. Pathetic - once more."

Added another: "Bruno Fernandes contributed to our loss yesterday."

A third commented: "Bruno Fernandes appalling. No responsibility, utterly pathetic."
