Bruno Fernandes imitates Cristiano Ronaldo – He coached Manchester United from the sidelines in FA Cup semi final just like Cristiano in Euro 2016 final

Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final match against Brighton & Hove Albion took place yesterday (April 23)), and Bruno Fernandes guided his team from the sidelines in a manner reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s.

The Portugal international was replaced by Wout Weghorst in the 101st minute with the score at 0-0. Fernandes was unable to sit on the sidelines and watch the remainder of the game in silence, and he was instead actively engaged in coaching his squad.

At the conclusion of the first half of extra time, the de facto captain of Manchester United gave his players a pep talk before meeting with Luke Shaw individually. Similar circumstances occurred during the UEFA Euro 2016 final between France and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portuguese side, whom Fernandes coached.

Even after the Portugal legend was pulled out in the 25th minute due to an injury, he continued to celebrate on the sidelines with manager Fernando Santos. As his Portuguese side won 1-0, he was observed delivering enthusiastic pep talks and yelling orders to his players.

In that Euro 2016 final, Eder’s goal came in the 109th minute. However, Manchester United and Brighton remained scoreless after more than two hours of play. The game proceeded to penalties, where the Red Devils triumphed with a perfect record of seven penalties.

As a result of Solly March’s missed penalty, Erik ten Hag’s team will play Manchester City in the FA Cup final on June 3. The two sides mutually agreed to part ways on November 22 after Cristiano Ronaldo’s troubled stint under Erik ten Hag., during which he started just four league games.

A few days before Portugal’s 2022 FIFA World Cup opener against Ghana, the decision was made. Discord in the Portugal locker room, which included Ronaldo’s old United colleagues Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, was said to have ensued after Ronaldo’s departure. But Fernandes quickly put an end to such speculations.
