BREAKING NEWS: “I broke down this morning when I found out the board had already terminated his contract after what happened yesterday. We never wanted it to end this way,” Bruno Fernandes said tearfully, as Manchester United confirmed the release of a player who failed to meet Ruben Amorim’s expectations last season.
In a deeply emotional moment that resonated with fans around the world, Bruno Fernandes was seen in tears following the shock announcement that Marcus Rashford would be leaving Manchester United. The news, revealed during a press conference ahead of a vital Premier League fixture, stunned the football community.
Rashford, a product of United’s famed academy, has been a central figure at the club — not just for his contributions on the pitch but for his powerful impact off it. Known for his charity work and leadership, his exit from Old Trafford marks the end of a significant era, prompting an outpouring of emotions from supporters, teammates, and staff.
Fernandes, who has formed a strong bond with Rashford since joining the club, was visibly emotional. Standing beside his long-time teammate, he struggled to hold back tears as the news began to settle in. Widely seen as a leader within the team, the usually composed Portuguese midfielder couldn’t hide his heartbreak over losing such a key figure.
The pair shared a strong understanding on the pitch, combining for goals and assists in many crucial moments. Their connection was one of United’s most reliable attacking dynamics, and the thought of that partnership ending clearly hit Fernandes hard.
Rashford delivered a heartfelt farewell, thanking the club, fans, and teammates for their support and for shaping him as both a footballer and a man. “This journey has been unforgettable, and walking away is one of the hardest decisions I’ve made,” he said emotionally. “But I feel it’s time for a fresh challenge.”
While Fernandes expressed support for his friend’s decision, the pain of parting was evident. His tearful reaction reflected the genuine bond between the two players—a friendship forged through highs, lows, and years of shared battles in the red of Manchester United.
