Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane labeled Bruno Fernandes as one of the "imposters" at the club, emphasizing that "talent alone isn't enough." Meanwhile, current captain Ruben Amorim praised Fernandes as being "special" to the club. In other news, Alejandro Garnacho will foot the bill for the team's dinner following his reaction to being substituted against Ipswich.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has stated that his opinion of Bruno Fernandes holds more weight than that of Roy Keane. Keane, the club’s former captain, recently criticized Fernandes’ leadership, harshly evaluating his recent performances on The Overlap's Stick to Football podcast. "I see fans at matches singing for Bruno, but I think these boys are imposters!" said Keane, adding, "You need a solid foundation. Talent alone isn’t enough. Bruno is talented, but that’s not enough."
When asked about Keane’s comments at a press conference on Friday, Amorim quickly defended Fernandes.
"I have a different perspective. Bruno is crucial for us at the club," Amorim stated.
He means a lot to me. He's performing well despite the challenging circumstances and always steps up to take responsibility.
"As a captain, I know he often leads with strong actions, and at times, it may seem like he's criticizing his teammates. But I believe much of it stems from his frustration over the past few years. He’s driven to win, and that intense desire can sometimes make it difficult to handle the frustration."
Sure! Here's a rewritten version:
"As I mentioned, everyone has their own opinion, and Roy Keane set high standards during his time. It's natural to have differing views. I have a different perspective, and I believe my opinion carries more weight because I’m the coach. I think he's doing things very well."
The president of LaLiga has disclosed that a complaint against Manchester City has been submitted to the European Commission.
LaLiga president, Javier Tebas, has announced that the Spanish league has lodged a legal complaint with the EU Commission, accusing Manchester City of violating EU Competition Law. Tebas stated that the complaint, filed in 2023, is related to the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. Manchester City has vehemently denied the allegations.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas has announced that the Spanish league has submitted a legal complaint to the EU Commission, claiming that Manchester City has violated EU Competition Law.
Tebas stated that the complaint, filed in 2023, is related to the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The European Commission has confirmed that it has received the complaint.
This regulation addresses foreign subsidies provided by non-EU countries to businesses operating within the internal market.
LaLiga has lodged a complaint, alleging that Manchester City has received foreign subsidies from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which has helped the club strengthen its competitive position and disrupt markets both nationally and within the EU.
Tebas stated: "Their focus is solely on finding ways to bypass the rules and regulations.
"We've presented this issue to the European Union with concrete facts and figures. Why? Because it's an English club outside the EU, but it operates commercially within Europe.
"It's crucial that all clubs adhere to transparency rules, governance standards, and genuine competition in both their financial and sporting operations."
Ben Ransom inquired about why Manchester City is targeted by some, to which Guardiola replied: "I don’t know. This has happened before with UEFA, and now, in a few weeks, it will happen with the Premier League regarding the 115 charges, right?"
"We’ll wait, and then we’ll discuss it," he added.
When asked if the club’s success was behind this backlash, Guardiola responded, "I don’t know."
Sky Sports News has reached out to the EU Commission for comment.
LaLiga's legal complaint is separate and unrelated to the 115 charges Manchester City faces for alleged violations of the Premier League’s financial regulations. The club has denied all charges.
