Sir Alex Ferguson considered complacency a disease and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes would have been diagnosed under previous management at Old Trafford. Fernandes was guilty of complacency after signing a new lucrative contract in April.
The appointment of Erik ten Hag was not completed and Ralf Rangnick was in interim charge of the club when Fernandes' contract extension was announced. Ten Hag was officially appointed in late May and the club should have waited until his arrival in Manchester to give Fernandes a new deal. The decision to extend his contract in April did not send the right message.
That's without mentioning he was not performing well enough for a new contract and that he had three years remaining on his previous deal. Fernandes endured a disappointing campaign last season and he markedly regressed from his usual standards.
