Fernandes, who captained Sancho during their time together at Old Trafford, commented: “Some player you 🔥 keep that smile.”
However, some fans have criticized Fernandes for this response. One commented, “Be serious, Bruno,” while another simply said, “Delete.” Additional remarks included “You having a laugh Bruno?!!!” and “Some captain you are 😂 Roy Keane would have dragged you out by the scruff of your shirt.” Another fan added, “He disrespected the club and fans you play for.”
In defense of Fernandes, one fan remarked, “He is praising his friend..? This is the problem with this world.”
Fernandes contributed an assist in United’s 3-0 victory over Southampton.

Maresca said, “I feel Jadon is a player who needs support. This is what I thought when I spoke with him before he joined us. He has the desire to prove himself, but the key is to enjoy football. When they are happy and enjoying the game, they perform well.”
