Former Manchester United forward Dion Dublin has suggested that Bruno Fernandes is the only player who deserves his place at the club.
He said this after watching his former side suffer a 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Englishman said that Fernandes was ‘trying to do everything on his own’ and deserved recognition for his efforts.
Brighton went ahead early in the game through Yankuba Minteh (5′), Kaoru Mitoma made it two in the 60th minute, and Georginio Rutter put the game beyond the home side’s reach in the 76th minute.
Fernandes was the only Red Devil to get on the scoresheet, scoring from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute.
The spot-kick was also United’s only shot on target, showcasing their toothlessness in attack.
Dublin lashed out at all the United players barring Fernandes. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, the 55-year-old said, “I don’t think they (the fans) believed in Man United from what I could see. Bruno Fernandes is trying to do everything on his own. The quality I was seeing in the red shirts wasn’t enough. Brighton were good and energetic – they were physically better. Brighton deserved to win the game.
“The games I have seen, there are 10-minute stints where you think ‘here we go.’ Bruno Fernandes, I have got to give him his due – he is trying his hardest and he is everywhere.”
