**“I Won’t Accept That From Him Again!” – Bruno Fernandes Furious After Amorim’s Harsh Remarks Following His Missed Penalty Against Fulham**
BREAKING NEWS: The turbulence at Manchester United has intensified after their frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham, with captain Bruno Fernandes now at the center of the storm. The Portuguese midfielder has confessed he felt “humiliated” and deeply angered by the words manager Ruben Amorim directed at him at the final whistle, after his stoppage-time penalty miss that could have secured victory for the Red Devils.
In his post-match reaction, Bruno opened up about the tense exchange with Amorim:
> “Yes, I missed the penalty that could have given us all three points today. But honestly, I am not happy with what Ruben Amorim said to me after the game. It left me embarrassed, and I refuse to accept that from him any longer.”
### The Penalty Incident
United were handed the perfect chance to snatch a late win when the referee awarded them a penalty in stoppage time. As always, Bruno stepped up with the responsibility, having been the club’s main taker for years. However, in a cruel twist of fate, his shot was saved by Fulham’s goalkeeper. Instead of walking away with a win, United had to settle for a single point, leaving fans frustrated and the players visibly disappointed.
But while the missed penalty was painful enough, it was the aftermath that truly escalated matters. Bruno revealed that instead of offering encouragement, Amorim’s immediate response was unusually harsh, leaving him feeling undermined as the team’s leader.
### What Amorim Allegedly Said
Although Fernandes didn’t quote Amorim word for word, reports from inside the dressing room suggest the manager criticized him for “losing focus under pressure” and even hinted that it might be time for someone else to take spot-kicks going forward. Considering how much responsibility Bruno has carried for United in recent years, such a remark was seen as a major insult.
Bruno made his feelings very clear:
> “I’ve always given my all for this club, taking responsibility when no one else wanted to step up. To be spoken to in that manner after a single mistake – that’s simply disrespectful.”
### Fan Reactions: A Divided Community
Unsurprisingly, the incident has triggered heated debates among United supporters. Many have rushed to defend their captain, reminding critics that Bruno has been the team’s most consistent performer for years:
* *“Bruno has carried this club on his back. He misses one penalty and Amorim throws him under the bus? That’s unacceptable.”*
* *“Amorim needs to watch his step. If he loses Bruno, he risks losing the entire dressing room.”*
However, not all fans sided with the midfielder. Some agreed with Amorim’s stance, claiming that as captain, Bruno must be held accountable, especially in crucial moments:
* *“That penalty was massive. If you’re the leader, you have to handle criticism too.”*
* *“Amorim is right – no individual is bigger than Manchester United, not even Bruno.”*
With tensions rising, this confrontation between captain and manager could prove pivotal in shaping United’s season moving forward.
