    What Bruno Fernandes said after Man United fired Erik ten Hag

    Portuguese attacking midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, who plays and captains Manchester United, has reacted after his club fired their coach, Erik ten Hag on Monday.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Manchester United fired Erik ten Hag, following a streak of record-breaking poor performances. Their recent 2-1 defeat to West Ham United seems to have been the final straw, leading to Ten Hag’s dismissal.

    “Thanks for everything boss! I appreciate the trust and the moments we share together, I wish you all the best in the future. Even knowing the last period hasn’t been great from all of us I hope you fans can keep with you the good things the manager has done for our club,” Fernandes stated via Instagram.

    Erik ten Hag’s dismissal by Man United comes after a disappointing campaign, with the team currently sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Man U are currently sitting on 14th position in the Premier League table.

    According to a club statement, Ruud van Nistelrooy will step in as the interim head coach, working alongside the existing coaching staff, as the search for a permanent head coach is underway.

    The statement reads: “Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager. Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.

    “We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future. Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited”.

  • Our relationship was like boyfriend and girlfriend – Pogba speaks on rift with Mourinho

    Our relationship was like boyfriend and girlfriend – Pogba speaks on rift with Mourinho

    Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has spoken about his issues with an ex-manager.

    Juventus midfielder Pogba claimed his relationship with former United boss Jose Mourinho was difficult.

    The two were close when Pogba first arrived at the club, but soon fell out over tactics and other matters.

    “Our relationship was like boyfriend and girlfriend, we were breaking up and making up all the time,” Pogba told The Mail.

    “It started great, he was one of the reasons I went back to Manchester because I spoke to him and he convinced me to come back.

    “I don’t know why it turned into a nightmare and us fighting. Because I wasn’t fighting. I didn’t start the fight.

    “We disagreed like managers and players do sometimes. But there’s a lot of respect from me to him.

    “If I see him tomorrow it’s a big hug! But one day we will have to sit down together and discuss it.”

  • I let down my teammates – Bruno Fernandes

    I let down my teammates – Bruno Fernandes

    Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes says he “let down” his teammates after defeat at home to Tottenham.

    United collapsed 3-0 against Spurs with Fernandes sent off before halftime.

    He said, “I just wanted to come and talk  and be myself because my team-mates deserve that for what they have done in the game playing with one man less. Particularly as I was the man sent off, the one that let them down.

    “The team showed a lot of character, a lot of resilience, a lot of fight. They tried. It wasn’t easy.

    “Never a red card, that is my view. I agree that it is a foul but it is never a foul. The referee tried to tell me that as he saw it was a clear contact with the studs, no. I didn’t touch him with the studs or even the foot, it was my ankle. It is a clear foul.

    “If he wants to give me a yellow because they are going to go on a counter then I agree. But more than that, no. It is not the case.”

    On the game being tough before the red card, he added: “Yes I think we struggled a bit. We tried to force it a little bit, to rush it and go too quick. When they have the high line we made mistakes on the ball and then we got punished and it didn’t go the way we wanted from there.

    “Then the red card makes it worse. I have to appreciate all the effort my team-mates have done to try and return to the game but it wasn’t possible. They showed great effort and character and I was happy for that.”

    EPL: Tottenham thrash 10-man Manchester United

    Tottenham Hotspur’s Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke got on the scoresheet in a 3-0 victory over 10-man Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

    Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs climbed to eighth in the table on 10 points after six games, while beleaguered United, who saw captain Bruno Fernandes sent off in the 42nd minute for a high challenge on James Maddison, are 12th with seven points.

    Tottenham went ahead in the third minute when defender Micky van de Ven picked up the ball and carried it over half the length of the pitch before playing a precise low centre across the six-yard box for the wide open Johnson to tap in.

    Spurs continued to run circles around United, doubling their lead in the 47th when Lisandro Martinez slipped on the halfway line. Johnson sprinted away and his deflected cross fell to Kulusevski, who acrobatically clipped the ball past Andre Onana.

    Solanke had scores of angry United fans heading for the exits when he stuck his leg out to poke the ball home from close range in the 77th minute after Pape  Sarr headed on a corner kick from fellow substitute Lucas Bergvall.
