Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes slams critics for Nicolas Pepe dig amid £47m Arsenal transfer claim

Bruno Fernandes has slammed British pundits for comparing him to Nicolas Pepe. The Manchester United midfielder has struggled to recapture the exciting form which he once enjoyed at Old Trafford, drawing comparisons to the Arsenal winger.

The 28-year-old has featured six times for Erik ten Hag's side in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards just two goals. Fernandes' lacklustre displays have seen him become subject to growing criticism as the Red Devils continue to be starved of the prolific goalscorer that they once relished.

The Portugal international has issues with how his poor form is labelled compared to his competitors, using Pepe as an example. In an interview with The Athletic, Fernandes spoke of his treatment upon his high-profile £58million arrival to United in January 2020.
