Bruno Fernandes has hit back at criticism from former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, accusing him of telling a “lie” about comments linked to the Premier League assists record.
Fernandes, who captains Manchester United, said Keane misrepresented his post-match interview after United’s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest, in which the midfielder was said to have prioritised individual achievement over team success.
Keane, speaking on The Overlap podcast, suggested Fernandes’ mindset reflected an unhealthy focus on personal statistics rather than collective success.
“How can your mindset of a footballer be going into a match to be about an individual record? He won’t be winning trophies, not with that mindset of the team,” Keane said.
However, Fernandes insisted those claims were inaccurate and based on a misinterpretation of his actual remarks.
