Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, was robbed at his home in Cheshire while he was away on club business. The incident occurred on October 21, the same day the 32-year-old midfielder traveled with the team for a Champions League match against an Italian club.
The burglary took place while Fernandes was in Italy, away from his residence. No details have been released about the extent of the damage or the value of stolen items. The police have not yet confirmed if any arrests have been made.
This is not the first time Fernandes has faced controversy. Earlier in the season, he criticized manager Michael Carrick’s tactics during a Champions League match, leading to public backlash. Carrick has since considered whether to exclude Fernandes from key matches, including a crucial Premier League game against Bournemouth.
Fernandes’ comments have sparked debate within the club. Former Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has criticized him for undermining the manager’s authority. Meanwhile, former player Alan Shearer has also condemned Fernandes and teammate Lisandro Martinez for their public criticism of club officials and Carrick.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions within the squad. Fernandes, despite his leadership role, has found himself at the center of internal disputes. The burglary adds another layer of personal challenge to his season, as he continues to navigate both on-field and off-field pressures.
