“His performance was outstanding despite the terrible results. He was basically carrying the team too bad his efforts were wasted” – This is according to Gary Neville as he claims that a Manchester United player attempted to handle ‘everything by himself’ during the match against Brighton.

Manchester United failed to carry their momentum from the midweek comeback win over Southampton, suffering a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton. Dion Dublin believes one United player is trying to shoulder too much responsibility on his own.

Ruben Amorim watched as his team’s inconsistency continued at Old Trafford, with Brighton proving superior in energy, quality, and tactical discipline. The loss served as another tough lesson for the new United manager.

United appear to be taking one step forward and then another back, and unless Amorim can bring in his own reinforcements, this pattern may persist for the remainder of the season.

Beyond new signings, team cohesion is crucial, and BBC pundit Dion Dublin believes Bruno Fernandes is trying to do too much by himself.

Dublin: Bruno Fernandes Playing Alone for United

While providing commentary for the BBC, former United and Aston Villa striker Dublin suggested that the Red Devils lacked quality, with their captain Fernandes attempting to take on everything single-handedly.

“I don’t think they believed in Man Utd from what I saw,” Dublin remarked.

“Bruno Fernandes is trying to do everything on his own. The quality in the red shirts wasn’t enough. Brighton were good, energetic, and physically stronger.

“Brighton deserved to win.”

United Fans Divided on Fernandes

Despite wearing the captain’s armband and scoring against Brighton, Fernandes remains a divisive figure among United supporters.

Just weeks ago, some fans called for him to leave after a disappointing performance against Bournemouth, and there was a similar frustration inside Old Trafford following the Brighton defeat.

Ruben Amorim faces major decisions in the upcoming transfer windows. To rebuild successfully, he must reshape the squad by bringing in fresh talent.

Whether Fernandes remains part of that project will depend on Amorim’s long-term vision.
