“To go 2-0 down at home [vs. Nottingham Forest], I’ve played in games at Old Trafford where a team has gone a goal or two up and we’ve managed to bring it back,” Rio Ferdinand stated in a statement posted on his official YouTube account.
“Yes, I realize that the times are different, but that is where you have to find your inspiration and attempt to maintain some consistency. Bruno Fernandes will benefit the most from all of this.
“I swear to you, the criticism he has been receiving lately. How dare these folks talk like that, I’ve been wondering as I sit there with my mouth open. This past season, he was the league’s most inventive player.
He has displayed the most original play this season. He is the first player to help his teammates create ten goal opportunities. In terms of goals scored, opportunities taken, and assists, he has exceeded every other player.
Last Saturday, Bruno proved crucial for Manchester United as the Red Devils overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat Forest 3-2 at home.
Before stepping up and scoring the game-winning penalty in the 72nd minute, the Portuguese player assisted Casemiro in the second half.
