Fernandes Denies Being Uncomfortable With Ronaldo: One of Manchester United’s most well-liked players among the supporters is Bruno Fernandes, but Cristiano Ronaldo risks alienating the Old Trafford faithful after using a contentious interview to force his way out of the team and his contract.
However, the two continue to play together for Portugua, and the midfielder claims he gets along well with the striker.
Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United on Tuesday, Bruno Fernandes has stated that he does not ‘feel uncomfortable’ playing alongside the striker at the World Cup.

Yesterday evening, it was announced that the 37-year-old striker would leave United by mutual consent because his contract had been terminated prior to Portugal’s opening match in Qatar.
Several players, including Ronaldo, began the campaign at Old Trafford. The team has also called up right-back Diogo Dalot in addition to midfielder Fernandes.
On the field, Fernandes frequently cuts a furious figure and is not afraid to voice his displeasure when his team’s performance is lacking.
Since joining United from Sporting Lisbon at the beginning of 2020 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Fernandes has grown in popularity among the supporters. He continued to perform admirably under Ralf Rangnick, and he is now the first-choice midfielder under new manager Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo discussed the lack of respect at the core of his relationship with the club management in a contentious interview with Piers Morgan. He also criticized a number of other facets of life at United.
After the team failed to earn Champions League football for the current season, Ronaldo attempted to leave the club in the summer. However, he was unsuccessful in finding a new club eager to sign him, with his salaries reportedly acting as a barrier.
After being released from his contract, he has recently been connected with two former teams—Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon—as well as another Premier League team, Chelsea.

Fernandes Denies Being Uncomfortable With Ronaldo
The World Cup with Portugal comes first, and Fernandes has denied that there is any animosity between him and Ronaldo.
At a press conference, he declared, “I don’t feel uncomfortable.” I’m not required to choose a side. It was a dream come true to be able to play with Cristiano since he has always been an inspiration to me, but we are aware that nothing lasts forever. Regardless of our opinions, we must appreciate his decision because it was good while it lasted.
Portugal’s first group match is against Ghana on Thursday night. We’ve launched a new bracket game in honor of the 2022 World Cup where you can make predictions, compete against friends, and form mini-leagues.
