In a recent discussion on The Overlap, Gary Neville expressed his concern about Bruno Fernandes' freedom on the pitch and its negative impact on Manchester United's attacking play. While United managed to find the back of the net twice against Tottenham, their goal-scoring record this season has left much to be desired, with only three teams in the Premier League having scored fewer goals.
Neville highlighted the positioning of Portugal international Fernandes as a potential reason for the team's struggles in attack. He pointed out that although Fernandes is undoubtedly the most talented player, he seems to be everywhere on the pitch, with no defined role or position. Neville compared this lack of structure to the approach of Pep Guardiola, who strongly emphasizes positional discipline in his players.
