'Too little, too late' - Bruno Fernandes blasted for apology to axed Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag as Roy Keane questions midfielder's leadership

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>After United's 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday at Old Trafford, Fernandes revealed that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-feels-responsible-erik-ten-hag-sacking-man-utd-captain-apologised-dutch-coach/bltdd6dacc0ab6211ef#cs9739cbd16da722c1" target="_blank">he had called up former coach Ten Hag and apologised</a> to him personally after the Dutchman was shown the door last week. Fernandes refused to blame the manager alone for the club's miseries in the 2024-25 campaign, admitting the players were equally at fault.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Red Devils skipper's gesture, however, did not go down well with club legend and pundit Keane, as he stated that the apology was "too little, too late". He also questioned the Portuguese midfielder's leadership skills while claiming he has failed to guide the team from the front.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on <em>Sky Sports</em>, Keane said: "These are always awkward interviews for players but I wouldn’t have much time and patience for the player to say, ‘listen, sorry, we let you down’. Too little, too late. We’ll judge what you’re doing on the football pitch. I don’t think Bruno has done enough in a lot of the games already. He didn’t show that leadership. So it would be interesting to hear what Ten Hag has to say about it. But you also have to move on.</p><p>"A lot of players don’t care that much when a manager goes. They just focus on the next manager and get ready, look after themselves. Players can be selfish, we know that, but I don’t think Bruno has done enough as a captain of Man United over the last year or two to help the manager out. Far from it."</p><p>He added, "The proof’s there with all the results. It’s not just on Bruno, of course, but I don’t think he showed enough leadership skills when the going’s got tough with some of the performances. I don’t think Bruno should be too proud of himself, of what’s happened to the manager of the last week or two. I think the players let the manager down ultimately."</p>

WHAT ROY KEANE SAID

<p>The English giants will face PAOK and Leicester in their next two fixtures in the Europa League and the Premier League respectively, before newly-appointed manager Ruben Amorim takes charge of the team formally next Monday.</p>
