Ruben Amorim has dismissed Roy Keane’s criticism of Bruno Fernandes, insisting his opinion of the Manchester United captain is “more important” than the pundit’s.
Keane hit out at Fernandes’ leadership at United, claiming “talent’s not enough” and that the midfielder was is “not a fighter”, as he made it clear he felt the 30-year-old should not be wearing the armband.
Asked about Keane’s comments at his press conference of United’s FA Cup fifth-round match at home to Fulham, Amorim emphasised Fernandes’ influence on the team.
Speaking on The Overlap podcast, Ian Wright suggested that Fernandes had saved United from suffering an even worse criticism, which sparked a passionate rant from Keane.
I have an opposite opinion and I think my opinion is more important than Roy Keane's because I am the coach.".
