Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has accused the club’s upper management of lacking the “courage” to sell him last summer, citing Ruben Amorim as the sole reason for his continuation at Old Trafford during a remarkable dismantling of his current employers and some of his teammates.

Manchester United were at their very best and their very worst in an illogical but hugely entertaining 4-4 draw at home to Bournemouth. Amad Diallo and Casemiro gave United the lead either side of Antoine Semenyo's equaliser but two goals early in the second half had the Red Devils on the back foot.

Despite once being regarded as one of the most promising young players, Kobbie Mainoo has found himself on the fringes at Manchester United. Interestingly, Bruno Fernandes has played a significant role in reducing Mainoo's playing time under Ruben Amorim's management.
