Bruno Fernandes Expresses Frustration After Portugal’s World Cup Exit to Spain
Fernandes said Portugal’s squad fell short after Spain ended its run with a stoppage-time winner, and he thanked teammates and staff for their World Cup effort.
- On Thursday, Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes issued a public statement following the team's FIFA World Cup round of 16 exit, describing himself as "sad, frustrated, and disillusioned" over the early elimination.
- Roberto Martinez's side held firm for 90 minutes before Mikel Merino scored a late winner for Spain in the round of 16, prompting Martinez to resign from his post immediately.
- Fernandes, the Premier League Player of the Year 2025-26, assisted 23 goals for Manchester United last season, yet managed only a single assist during the tournament.
- The early World Cup exit means Fernandes and Diogo Dalot will return to United sooner for pre-season, while the club pursues a £50 million deal for Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos.
- Michael Carrick's United squad faces Wrexham in nine days before playing Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds, and Milan throughout the pre-season schedule.
