Bruno Fernandes Fumes at SQUANDERED Record: “I Will Never Forgive Him”

**MANCHESTER** — It was supposed to be a historic afternoon of pure celebration at Old Trafford, but Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was left feeling a bitter mixture of elation and immense frustration following his side’s chaotic 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.

The win officially secured a third-place Premier League finish for United under Michael Carrick, but the headlines post-match were stolen by a viral, explosive locker-room rant from the Portuguese playmaker.

### The Moment History Was Matched—But Not Broken

Fernandes entered the match on the cusp of greatness, and in the 76th minute, he delivered a pinpoint cross to Bryan Mbeumo, who slammed it home to put United 3-1 ahead. That piece of magic marked Bruno’s **20th assist of the Premier League campaign**, drawing him level with the legendary single-season record held by Thierry Henry (2002–03) and Kevin De Bruyne (2019–20).

Yet, with United’s attack utterly slicing Forest open in an end-to-end chaotic finale, the captain set up chance after chance to claim the historic 21st assist and own the record outright.

Instead, a series of jaw-dropping late misses from his teammates—most notably a sluggish **Joshua Zirkzee**, who squandered multiple golden opportunities in stoppage time after being subbed on—left Fernandes visibly boiling on the pitch.

### “I Will Never Forgive Him”

While Fernandes was professional during his official TV obligations, reports emerging from the tunnel paint a much more fiery picture. According to inside sources, an exasperated Fernandes vented his frustrations regarding the wasted history, taking aim at the profligacy of his frontline.

> “Although we won, I will never forgive this particular player for wasting my assists today,” a furious Fernandes allegedly barked to team staff near the tunnel. “I could have broken the record if not for him. The history was right there on the table.”

Fans watching the final minutes could easily see the captain’s boiling point. In the 98th minute, Bruno perfectly picked out Zirkzee on the penalty spot, only for the Dutchman’s initial shot to be blocked and his secondary effort to be miraculously tipped over by Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels. Moments prior, Diogo Dalot hit the post from a Fernandes-orchestrated break, and Amad Diallo failed to latch onto a squared counter-attack pass.

### What Was Said Legally

When speaking to the cameras later, Fernandes managed to put on a slightly more diplomatic—yet clearly tense—front, acknowledging that his teammates’ primary focus should have been executing his service.

* **On the equaled record:** “I spoke about that, everybody knew it was important. They’ve been trying to score from my passes. I’m very happy for the assist and for the win to finish [the home season] on a high.”

* **On looking forward:** “I got to 20 today, let’s see, we have one more game. It’s the highest I’ve done in the Premier League, so I am very happy with it.”

### A Bitter End to a Brilliant Day

The drama overshadowed what was otherwise a highly significant afternoon at Old Trafford. The match featured:

* A controversial VAR-approved goal from Matheus Cunha despite an apparent handball.

* An emotional, standing-ovation farewell for midfield warrior **Casemiro** in his final home game.

* Massive chants for interim boss Michael Carrick, who looks set to sign a permanent contract.

Manchester United fans on social media have largely backed their captain’s elite mentality, with many echoing his frustration over Zirkzee’s ponderous late-game display. Fernandes will have exactly one more opportunity to break the record outright and claim his 21st assist when United travel to face Brighton next weekend for the final match of the Premier League season. Knowing Bruno, his teammates better finish their dinner.
