Gary Neville singles out Bruno Fernandes in brutal Man United transfer rant

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Bruno Fernandes is the only transfer since Sir Alex Ferguson retired who has proven to be a success at the club.

Neville was speaking as he reacted to the impending arrival of Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. The Portuguese head coach will be starting his new job at United on Monday, November 11 but the speculation regarding what he will need to change at the club to alter the Reds' fortunes has already begun.

For the ex-United captain, bringing in players in the transfer market that don't underwhelm should be at the top of Amorim's agenda. Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville explained: "He has to get the best out of the players.

"The players need to take responsibility for what's happened in the last ten years. The club have signed a lot of players that other clubs wanted and when those players have arrived at Manchester United they've deteriorated. Why is that?

"It could be the coach, it could be the players, it could be the environment is too big for them, whatever it is it has to change because if he [Amorim] doesn't change that he will fall the same way the rest of them have." Singling out Fernandes' efforts, Neville added: "There are managers that have come here that have been tried and tested and successful, there are players that have come here with great potential and ones that you thought would be good signings for the club - only really Bruno I can think of in ten years has signed for the club and done more than I thought he would.

"I can't think of any other player. That's £1.8bn spent in the last ten years, that's one thing that has to change." Fernandes arrived at Old Trafford from Sporting in 2020.

He has often been criticised by pundits, including Neville, for his perceived moaning on the pitch. However, he has made 247 appearances for the Reds prior to the match against Chelsea this weekend and has shown great maturity to rise to captain of the club.
