Barcelona’s Joao Cancelo has openly named Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes as the man that irritates him the most, in a statement that illuminates internal football dynamics.
Cancelo also praised Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City.
Comrades in arms on the international scene for Portugal, Cancelo and Fernandes were instrumental in arranging Selecao das Quinas’ victorious run to Euro 2024 victory. Tensions seem to be simmering between Manchester United’s talisman, Fernandes, and Cancelo—who is presently playing for Barcelona on loan from Manchester City—despite their shared success with the national side.
In an interview with A Bola (via Barca Universal), Cancelo said, when asked which football player irritates him the most, “Player that annoys me the most? Fernandes, Bruno.
On the other hand, Cancelo declared Guardiola the best coach in the world, adding, “Best coach in the world? Pep Guardiola,” demonstrating his admiration for coaching brilliance.
