Bruno Fernandes has reached his breaking point at Manchester United, as Captain he cannot do what he has. He has given everything to the club since January 2020, carrying them on his back time & again.
His love, commitment & loyalty cannot be questioned. He has been patient, given his best years to owners & decision makers who have broken promises & failed over & over to get this thing right. He's had enough.
There are countless examples of what he has done for the club on & off the pitch, I don't need to recount the stories. He has so much credit in the bank, it is sad to see people throw it all away because of this.
Bruno isn't the problem. He's had enough of the real problem, if you can't understand that I can't help you. We are sick of cycle & clearly so is he - can you blame him? We're talking about a human being, not a robot.
We demand perfection, he isn't perfect - but he could not have given more to us. We should try & remember that before talking about him on days like today, because I don't blame him for being fed up. I am too.
I don't condone what he has done in the past week, but doesn't mean at the same time I don't understand it. How much can someone give before being at their wits end. He needed to be better, but deserves better too.

Today i’ve been invited by United to give my input into the new Stadium design. As someone who feels that leaving the present site is sacrilege, I think I’ll pass and leave it to all the overseas members who have never set foot inside Old Trafford, and never will, to put in their two pennies worth, which United will then take as an ok to do what ever they wish, as long as any of the ideas put forward have no bearing on the the absolute shit show we are witnessing on the pitch. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #ManUnited

One of the greatest club's in world football in financial ruin, and a never ending cycle of failure thanks to these fucking leeches. In debt to our eyeballs which is ALL on them. Years of mismanagement & running the club like a circus. Never ever forget who the real culprits are

Just remember that the dirty, filthy, lying, scheming, manipulative cunt who murdered wonderful Grace, (And Barney, and Ian), is currently in a fucking hospital, and not a prison where he belongs.

Cantona in this era would have been head and shoulders the best player in the league..💯

Absolutely heartbreaking.
11 year old Miya Deamer-Jones was found dead near a cricket ground in Worcestershire, just hours after she was reported missing.
I put the news on tonight and haven’t seen a single mention of it.
A few years ago, the death of an 11 year old child would have been across every television channel and every newspaper.
Something feels deeply wrong when a story like this can pass almost unnoticed.
Britain is failing far too many women and children.

A New York jury just awarded $2 MILLION to a young woman who underwent a double mastectomy at 16 and later detransitioned.
The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice.
Her case alleged that serious mental-health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia and autism-spectrum traits, were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed on a minor.
Now watch what happens when someone like her speaks publicly.
For years we were told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself was dangerous.
But when a detransitioner stands up and says, “This happened to me,” suddenly she becomes the problem.
That is the epistemic tell.
When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated.
When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence gets attacked.
A jury heard the testimony. A jury examined the evidence. A jury found malpractice. And a jury put the damages at $2 million.
You don’t protect vulnerable young people by demanding silence from the ones who came back and said, “I wish someone had slowed this down.”
You protect them by listening.
