Ruben Amorim has recently stepped into the role of manager at Manchester United, taking over after Erik ten Hag's departure at the end of last month. However, the team's performance has not improved, and they currently sit in a disappointing 12th place in the Premier League standings.
Neil "Razor" Ruddock, a former player for Liverpool and other English clubs, has labeled one of United's star players as the "flop of the season." In an interview with 10bet, Ruddock expressed his frustration with the team's performance and singled out Bruno Fernandes for criticism.
While Fernandes has been a consistent player for United in recent years, he has struggled to find his top form this season and has already received two red cards, albeit for soft offenses. Ruddock also joked about Mohamed Salah potentially being his "flop of the season" if he were to leave Liverpool, before ultimately choosing Fernandes as his pick.
Ruddock's annoyance with Fernandes stems from the player's constant complaining and sometimes dramatic gestures on the field, which Ruddock finds to be in line with the behavior of previous United captains. He urges Fernandes to "behave" and focus on his game instead of getting caught up in emotions.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, the club where Ruddock spent the majority of his career, is currently sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League standings, eight points ahead of second-place Manchester City. Ruddock believes that their upcoming match against City will be crucial in determining the outcome of the title race.
He also acknowledges that if Liverpool can maintain their lead after the busy Christmas period, they have a good chance of winning the league. With City's recent slip-ups and Liverpool's strong form, Ruddock believes that this could be their year to become champions.
As a former player, Ruddock understands the importance of the festive period in the Premier League, with a lot of games scheduled in a short amount of time. He believes that if Liverpool can maintain their lead during this time, they will have a solid chance of lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of the season.
