A stunning plea has been made by Premier League legend Joe Cole, urging Manchester United’s star midfielder Bruno Fernandes to leave the struggling club in search of trophies and respect. Cole’s comments come as Fernandes continues to shine amidst United’s dismal performances, with the Portuguese playmaker becoming the sixth player in the club’s history to register 50 Premier League assists.
Fernandes’s impressive individual stats, including 94 goals and 79 assists in 276 appearances across all competitions, have not been enough to propel United to major honors. This lack of success has led Cole to suggest that Fernandes deserves better and should consider a move away from Old Trafford.
Speaking to Paddy Power, Cole expressed his admiration for Fernandes’s tireless efforts, saying, “If I’m Bruno Fernandes, I’d absolutely be looking for a move away from Manchester United. He’s the first butterfly and he’s getting all the arrows from everyone.” Cole’s comments highlight the unfair criticism Fernandes has faced, despite being the driving force behind United’s occasional successes.
Cole continued, “He must go home at night and wonder why everyone is digging him out when he’s the only one pulling his weight in this team. There are others doing okay, but he is literally dragging that club through this dire moment.” The former Chelsea and Liverpool midfielder’s words paint a vivid picture of Fernandes’s Herculean efforts to keep United afloat.
The bigger picture suggests that Fernandes’s future at United is uncertain, with the club’s inability to challenge for major honors a significant concern. As Cole noted, “When all is said and done, and Bruno leaves United, and maybe they return to the top, they’ll look back at this era, and the only shining light will be Bruno Fernandes.”
Fernandes’s situation at United has sparked a wider debate about the club’s direction and the treatment of its star players. As the Red Devils continue to struggle, it remains to be seen whether Fernandes will remain loyal to the club or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
Cole’s comments have added fuel to the fire, with many fans and pundits weighing in on Fernandes’s future. While some argue that he should stay and help United rebuild, others believe that he deserves better and should leave the club to pursue trophies and recognition.
As the transfer speculation surrounding Fernandes continues to build, one thing is certain: the Portuguese midfielder’s future will be watched with great interest by football fans around the world.
The situation has also raised questions about United’s ability to retain its top talent. With Fernandes’s contract set to expire in 2026, the club faces a critical decision: either tie him down to a new deal or risk losing him to a rival club.
As the drama unfolds, Fernandes remains focused on his performances on the pitch, continuing to inspire United with his exceptional skill and dedication. However, as Cole’s comments suggest, the midfielder’s long-term future at Old Trafford remains uncertain.
