Owen suggests that Bruno Fernandes has been removed from the match against Liverpool

There have been many critical voices that have been raised against Bruno Fernandes. Not because of his play, as gray as that of a Manchester United that does not get out of mediocrity, but because of his attitude in the humiliating defeat at home against Bournemouth. According to some, it was so bad for him to lose that he received a yellow card that will lead to a suspension in the always attractive match against Liverpool.

One of those who has openly regretted the situation caused by the Portuguese midfielder is former footballer Michael Owen. And Fernandes was expelled for protesting an arbitration decision, something that many believe he could have avoided. I wonder how many yellow cards he has received for dissenting and waving his arms. He may not want to go to Anfield. I wouldn't like it at this moment.

The former Real Madrid player goes on to say that he should be more responsible, he should be a good ambassador for the club, a leader for the team. We all know that the referees are taking drastic measures against that and what I think is that they warn him a lot for a player who barely puts his foot in.

Michael Owen has slammed Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and even joked that he got suspended on purpose to avoid having to face Liverpool next weekend. The Portuguese midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 3-0 loss to Bournemouth yesterday and as a result, he will be suspended for United's upcoming trip to Anfield.

The surprise humiliation

Fernandes was unable to inspire his team as they were humiliated on Saturday afternoon, with Bournemouth signaling a historic win away thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi. United will need someone else to step up and lead them when they travel to face Liverpool next weekend and former forward Owen had little sympathy for Fernandes after his suspension.
