Bruno Fernandes has been branded \u201cchildish\u201d by former Liverpool striker John Aldridge \u2013 who claimed he is not fit to captain Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ex-Kop star Aldridge said it was \u201cslanderous\u201d Fernandes was allowed to wear the armband, given the great captains United have had in the past, including Bryan Robson and Roy Keane<\/a>. \u201cManchester United would be a better team without Bruno Fernandes<\/a> as the captain,\u201d said Aldridge.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have a club captain with an attitude like Fernandes, especially considering the previous leaders at the club that have been and gone, it\u2019s slanderous to such a great football club. He\u2019s very impetuous and childish. I can\u2019t believe he\u2019s never been sent off. If I was a referee, I\u2019d book him every time he moaned or whinged.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile the rivalry between Liverpool<\/a> and United has always been fierce, I knew a lot of United players that conducted themselves excellently on the pitch.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Man Utd wonderkid, 17, told to prepare for first-team role after ‘bullying’ opposition<\/a>READ MORE: Emi Martinez breaks silence on Man Utd transfer snub with one-word update<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe way Fernandes conducts himself epitomises the club\u2019s performance in the last few years. If United brought in a proper leader to replace him, they\u2019d improve as a team, without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n Aldridge also cast doubt on the future of United boss Ruben Amorim and claimed it as a “toss of a coin” whether the Portuguese head coach will still be in charge at the end of the season.<\/p>\n \u201cAmorim is a very likeable man,\u201d said Aldridge. \u201cI think he comes off very well in the media, but that doesn\u2019t go a long way when you\u2019re the manager of a huge club like United.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can\u2019t get any worse than last season and after securing some good transfers like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, they look a lot more balanced going forward, but there\u2019s still a lot of question marks in the team.<\/p>\n \u201cWill Amorim last until the end of the season? I think it\u2019s the toss of a coin. But things can change very quickly in football.<\/p>\n \u201cSir Alex Ferguson<\/a> was reportedly one game away from getting sacked and the club gave him the benefit of the doubt, so anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n John Aldridge was speaking to BetWright.
