“When you look at leaders in the modern game, one example is at Manchester United, which is one of the biggest institutions in world football,” Souness began. “The club captain is Bruno Fernandes. When they were 3-0 down against Liverpool a couple of seasons ago, he just threw the towel in… he’s the captain! If anything, he should still be contributing, running around with enthusiasm and helping his teammates.”

Graeme Souness didn’t hold back, asserting that Fernandes lacks the necessary attitude to inspire his team during challenging moments. “I don’t think Fernandes can change that aspect of himself – it’s part of him. When he’s shrugging his shoulders and throwing his arms around, that’s just him.”

The ex-Liverpool player and manager is famously known for his unapologetic opinions pertaining to his criticisms on players. Most famous was Graeme Souness’ famed jabs at Paul Pogba during his time at Old Trafford.
