Is either Ten Hag sell Him or I leave,I could have scored the winning goal but He refused to gave me the ball and He wasted it”, Bruno Fernandez angry with One Man United player who refused to pass the ball to Him yesterday

Manchester United’s Europa League campaign kicked off with a familiar result, as they were held to a 1-1 draw against FC Twente, mirroring their frustrating finish in the Premier League. Despite taking the lead early in the first half, United couldn’t secure the win, and tensions flared on the field.

The Red Devils started brightly, dominating possession and pushing forward, but Twente adopted a defensive stance, closing down spaces and making life difficult for United’s attackers. Erik ten Hag’s men continued to probe, looking dangerous as they moved the ball around quickly, but Twente’s defense remained stubborn.

Christian Eriksen broke the deadlock for United with a powerful shot after a loose ball fell to him inside the box. It was a much-needed moment of quality as the team looked to control the game. Despite dominating for much of the second half, a series of individual mistakes allowed Twente to break through, scoring a shock equalizer.

Manager Erik ten Hag responded by making three substitutions at once, but United struggled to regain their momentum, and they were forced to settle for a draw—leaving them winless in two consecutive games. Frustrations ran high after the match, with Bruno Fernandes voicing his anger at a teammate for failing to pass him the ball during a key moment, insisting that he could have netted a winning goal.

Here’s a breakdown of how the players performed during the match:

Andre Onana – 5/10
Onana had a quiet game until he was beaten by Twente’s Lammers, who fooled him by pretending to aim for the far post but instead scored at the near post. Other than that, Onana had little to do.

Noussair Mazraoui – 7/10
Another strong performance from Mazraoui, who continues to show why he’s one of the first names on the team sheet. Aside from one misplaced pass, he was nearly flawless.

Harry Maguire – 5/10
Maguire’s poorly timed sliding tackle left him out of position, allowing Twente to launch their attack for the equalizer. While he remains a threat on set pieces, his defensive errors cost the team.

Lisandro Martinez – 7/10
Martinez found himself in an advanced position during one of United’s attacks in the first half, making the most of the opportunity. He was solid in defense and composed with the ball at his feet.

Diogo Dalot – 6/10
Dalot was nearly punished early in the game when he casually lost possession, but Twente failed to capitalize on it. His overall performance was decent, but he’s now held to a higher standard.

Manuel Ugarte – 6/10
Ugarte showed moments of quality but at times seemed out of sync with the pace of the game. His eagerness to press high left gaps, but gaining more experience with his teammates will benefit him.

Christian Eriksen – 7/10
Eriksen gave United the lead with a brilliant strike, his third goal in four games. However, his careless mistake led to Twente’s equalizer when he hesitated on the ball and was caught out.

Bruno Fernandes – 4/10
Fernandes endured another frustrating outing, much like his previous match against Crystal Palace. His passing was erratic, and despite some audacious attempts, little came off. He missed a key opportunity late in the game, hitting a free-kick straight at the goalkeeper.

Amad – 7/10
Amad’s ability to use both feet made him a constant threat, and United looked dangerous whenever he was on the ball. He was replaced by Garnacho as part of Ten Hag’s forward rotation.

Marcus Rashford – 8/10
Rashford appears to be rediscovering his form, showcasing some dazzling skills, including an impressive elastico that left defenders trailing. While he didn’t score, he was United’s most dangerous player and was surprisingly substituted.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6.5/10
Zirkzee isn’t a natural goal-scorer, but his link-up play made United’s attack more fluid. His contribution hinted at potential in a future partnership with Højlund.

Substitutes:

Alejandro Garnacho – 7/10
Initially sent on to help defend, Garnacho had to switch gears quickly after Twente’s equalizer. He was a livewire, constantly threatening and creating chances.

Rasmus Højlund – 6/10
Højlund struggled to make an impact, appearing rusty as a few passes bounced off him. He needs more playing time to regain sharpness and develop better chemistry with his teammates.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6/10
Mainoo made some promising forward runs but also lost possession a few times. Despite this, it was an impressive debut in European competition for the young midfielder.

Mason Mount – 6/10
Mount, known for his relentless pressing, worked hard but lacked an end product. He’s still finding his rhythm after returning from injury and will need time to get back to his best.

United’s next match will offer another opportunity for Ten Hag’s side to iron out their inconsistencies, but Fernandes’ post-match frustrations are indicative of the growing pressure within the squad to turn their dominance into victories.
