​Bruno Fernandes deemed 'uncoachable' by members of Man Utd staff

Manchester United staff members believe that talented believe midfielder Bruno Fernandes is 'uncoachable' at the club.

The Red Devils exited from the Champions League against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night at Old Trafford, losing 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.

Fernandes has struggled to replicate the stunning form of last season, especially when playing alongside countryman Cristiano Ronaldo. That was evident on Tuesday.

According to The Independent, sources within the United staff suggest that Fernandes is not easy to coach, as he does not recognise different tactical approaches to games.

The Portugal international is labeled as bringing "tactical anarchy" to the team, which disrupts their patterns of play.

Fernandes has started 26 out of 29 league games this season, with a return of nine goals and six assists.
