Man United labelled ’embarrassing’ by pundit after Bruno Fernandes quotes emerge – ‘it’s wrong’
Kevin Campbell has slammed Man United after Bruno Fernandes questioned his teammates “attitude” during the 6-3 loss to Man City.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Arsenal and Everton striker said Erik ten Hag’s side looked “pedestrian” at the Etihad and were “embarrassed” by their rivals.
United’s four-game win streak came to an end against Pep Guardiola’s Man City on Sunday (2 October).
As quoted by Stretty News (3 October), Fernandes blamed his side’s “attitude and belief” for the humiliating loss.
Second-half goals from Anthony Marial and Antony ultimately flattered the visitors on the day.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on Fernandes’ reasoning for the loss, Campbell said: “Players attitude in question during the Manchester derby? That is wrong.
“Fair enough if you get beat and don’t play well. But to have doubts over the players attitudes? That is the one thing that should always be right on derby day. You have to get that right.
“United hadn’t played for a month. I though they were going to zip it about or look pedestrian. City made them look pedestrian.
“To be 4-0 down at half time in the derby is embarrassing. They had a go second half but City had already taken their foot off the gas.
“Players have to get their attitude right on derby day. That is the minimum requirement.”
