Cristiano Ronaldo
Bruno Fernandes appeared to take a swipe at wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo – by suggesting Manchester United are better without him in the team.
The 37-year-old icon has missed the pre-season tour to Australia due to “personal reasons”.
And that has paved the way for Anthony Martial to take his chance at a United revival.
He scored and assisted in the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
Fernandes hailed the Frenchman for his work without the ball – hinting he, and therefore the team, is more effective compared to when Ronaldo plays.
