Ruben Amorim rejected Roy Keane’s criticism of Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes and insisted that his opinion was “more important”.
Keane began on a Rant for the latest episode of the coating with Portugal Midfielder Fernandes facing the wrath of the Irishman.
The former United Keane midfielder said: “I see fans singing about Bruno. I see these boys, and I think they are f ****** Imposters.
“You must have a starting point. I go back to everything – talent is not enough. Bruno is a talented player, but talent is not enough.”
Keane’s explosion came despite the fact that Fernandes played a leading role in the United 3-2 victory over Ipswich on Wednesday night.
“Talent is not enough to play for a big club!” 😡

Amorim is stuck for Fernandes down
And Amorim rushed to defend his ruler in front of the fifth round of Sunday with Fulham.
He said: “I heard about it. I have a different opinion. Bruno is really important to us and the club. He plays well in a difficult context. He always wants responsibility.
“I sometimes know as a captain who does things with his hands, but above all it is very frustrated for the current year and the last year. He wants to win and sometimes it is difficult to deal with this frustration.
“Everyone has an opinion. Roy Keane has great standards since his time in the club and it is normal to have an opinion. I have a opposite opinion and I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane because I am the coach. ”
Garnacho to cough after a misconduct
It was another week of melodrama in Old Trafford with the Alejandro Garnacho fin, which also received a flame to walk straight under the tunnel shortly before the halftime against Ipswich has been replaced after Patrick Dorgu’s red card.
Amorim said he had spoken to Garnacho and revealed that the Argentinean international would have to deal with the team at a meal apologizing.
He said, “He came to me, in my office.
“I did some research. He (Garnacho) went to the dressing room, watched the game, then went home. It’s not an issue, but I told him that in Manchester United are all an issue. In this club, the perception is important.
“He will pay for dinner for the whole team. That’s.
“He’s a young kid who will learn. The important thing is that the next morning he was talking to me. We need to understand the situation, the context, the age of the players. They must be better and understand that the perception here is really important, but as I said you can deal with the next day and move on.
HAG AXIMH HAG AXIME
Amorim Erik Ten Hag’s predecessor has also spoken this week, claiming that modern players are soft. However, Amorim sees it differently, underlining the challenges caused by social media and the fact that every fan has a way of expressing their opinion.
He added: “I think it’s completely different for players now. Before they were just newspapers and nothing more. With social media it’s completely different. You can’t go to social media without seeing new or photo or if you read something bad then you focus on it. You can have 100 good things but a bad thing and you will focus on it.
“I think it’s really difficult for them. You can call it soft, but they have access to criticism that is difficult to deal with. They need help to deal with this. It’s modern football and they must be prepared for it.”
