How Bruno Fernandes Ignored Solskjaer’s Order To Leave Penalty For Ronaldo In Aston Villa Loss.

It has been revealed that Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes Ignored Ole Solskjaer’s order to leave the penalty for Cristiano Ronaldo in the club’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Following Ronaldo’s return to United, many expected the 36-year-old to take over penalty duty from his compatriot. However, Fernandes placed the ball on the spot with Villa a goal up and blazed his effort over the bar.

According to Transfer Window Podcast pundit Duncan Castles, Solskjaer had instructed that Ronaldo take any penalty ahead of their clash with Villa, but Fernandes took it upon himself to step up.

“Very interesting interaction between the Aston Villa goalkeeper, the penalty kick specialist, Emiliano Martinez, and Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo. One of the things the goalkeeper used to try to put Bruno Fernandes off was to say to Cristiano Ronaldo, ‘you should be taking this penalty’. And it turns out he was right.

“Information I have is that going into that game against Aston Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo was the designated penalty taker for Manchester United.

“He should’ve taken the penalty at the key moment in the game, instead Bruno Fernandes took it upon himself to take it and ultimately missed it.

“I think from that information you can probably see why he made such an act of apology in putting out a seven paragraph social media mea culpa over that miss, Castles admitted.
