Why Bruno Must Give Up Penalty Taking Role to Ronaldo with Immediate Effect
We know Bruno has lifted the atmosphere at Old Trafford since his arrival, but for god sake – why is the Portuguese midfielder so full of himself to the extent that he can’t give out Man Utd penalty taking roles to the legendary Ronaldo? In this article, SportsFila discusses Why Bruno Must Give Up Penalty Taking Role to Ronaldo with Immediate Effect.
From Man United to Madrid and Juventus, Ronaldo has taken penalties for the majority of his career. There is no single doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo should be the starman on penalty duties for United. He has done so everywhere he has been to. And on paper, CR has been very successful from the spot.
Forwards like Cristiano Ronaldo are judged by the number of goals they score, while midfielders like Bruno are mostly tasked with providing assists and killer passes. If Bruno were a humble and wise person, he would have supported Ronaldo to get more goals and boost his national teammate’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or number 6.
Disrespectful and selfish Bruno Fernandes has created a Cristiano Ronaldo question for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to answer right now.
It’s been a big debate topic of conversation, so Ole Gunnar has to look at who he would pick to take the club’s next penalty.
Why did Bruno take the Aston Villa penalty?
Well, Bruno took it out of ego rivalry vs Ronaldo. It was Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez who gestured that he wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to take the penalty, however selfish Fernandes resisted the urge and decided to take it by himself. According to Marca, Bruno’s penalty against Villa was a disaster as he sent the ball high over the bar into the crowd with United losing 0-1 at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo vs Bruno penalty brouhaha at Man Utd explained
SportsFila acknowledges there has been plenty of talk about Manchester United’s penalty takers after the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
United had the opportunity to steal a point after Kortney Hause appeared to handle the ball in the penalty area having given Villa the lead just a few minutes previously. Plenty of speculation before the penalty was taken centered on who exactly would take the spot-kick. That’s Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes?
When you actually look at the statistics too, Fernandes has a better conversion rate than Ronaldo but given the 36-year-old has taken a lot more penalties during his career, it’s a smaller sample size to work with.
Fernandes missed his penalty on Saturday, uncharacteristically skying the ball over the top after refusing to use his usual jump trick.

Important questions Bruno must answer?
- Why convince Ronaldo to come back to United when you know CR7 would compete with you for penalties?
- Does Bruno not want Ronaldo to win the EPL golden boot?
- Knowing that Ronaldo likes penalties, why can’t Fernandes do his countryman CR7 a favor by giving him penalties?
- If Rashford and Pogba allowed Bruno to take over their penalty roles, why won’t Bruno do same to senior Ronaldo?
Let look at the numbers: Ronaldo career penalty stats so far
Club penalties taken: 147 Club penalties scored: 125
Success rate: 85.0%
International penalties taken: 20 International penalties scored: 14
Success rate: 70%
Total penalties taken: 167 Total penalties scored: 139
Total success rate: 81.4%
As you can see, Ronaldo still has a near-flawless record and he normally comes out on top in a battle of wits with goalkeepers from 12 yards.
Bruno’s career penalty record
In his entire football career, Bruno Fernandes has missed four of his total 47 penalties taken, good for a 91% conversion rate. However, including penalty shootouts, the 24 he’s taken for United, he’s missed two, and that is a remarkable conversion rate.
In summary, if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really respects Ronaldo’s legacy and doesn’t fear attention seeker Bruno Fernandes, the Norwegian boss must assign CR7 as his number 1 penalty taker with immediate effect.

The fact that Southgate is on that list tells how serious you should take it
No manager on earth could do anything with Manchester United until Someone takes responsibility for the club and has a viable plan for the future.
Manchester Derby PREDICTIONS By SportsFila: Man Utd vs City
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group, the club’s new partial owners, are exploring options to assume the role. According to Team Talk, the Red Devils are considering the 41-year-old as a candidate for the manager position.
After achieving success as a player with Barcelona, Inter, and Paris Saint-Germain, winning numerous titles, the two-time Champions League winner transitioned to coaching at the senior level.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆
Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?

But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.
Why Biased Ten Hag Cannot Discipline Rashford Like Sancho
Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.
Almost every team demonstrated that they were not afraid of their opponent and played above expectations.
Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡

‘He’s very coachable, he wants to learn, to improve every day’ |SportsFila can feel the meaning of a ‘coachable player that wants to improve every day’. Because ETH has to deal with players that are not like this at all.
remember at Ajax TH once said “a process takes time, but by throwing in young players in big games that process gets accelerated”. Always stuck with me considering he let Mainoo debut against Everton (after the 10 point deduction at an intense Goodison Park) and then straight into the Galatasaray away game in the CL. H
He also has done the same with Garnacho last year and this year. Then he did the same with Pellistri against Bayern Munich who in my opinion did well enough to deserve another chance. I think it’s a way for him to see how they respond to the pressure and intensity. He’s not afraid to play the youngsters ONLY if he considers them good and fearless enough.
Why Roma loved and sacked Jose Mourinho
He made De Ligt Ajax captain at 18 years old because he saw leadership qualities. He has his own methods, but I’m convinced he knows exactly what he’s doing regarding the future of United. United fans need to remember 75% of this current squad won’t be part of the future so maybe allow him a bit more time to show what he’s trying to build.

ETH is a highly resillient manager to go through all the crisis and egos, poor performances, players personal issues and ownership drama and come out on the other side with these kind of performances. He brought in the right striker young full of potential and work ethic. Young players are starring in the squad WE ARE ON THE WAY.
Jadon Sancho Will REGRET His Behaviour At Man United
All the instability across the club that he’s gone through and still kept us in the Top 8. Now he’s finally seeing the other side of the drawn-out “club sale, no-sale”, multiple injuries, media controversies, spoiled players, and all the other nonsense, we see the team moving into sixth position. The man deserves all the praise in the world for being so resilient.
It’s interesting hearing ten hag speaking on rashford because he mentions a lot of qualities which he possesses, however they are all physical and technical, the one thing he didn’t speak positively about was his mentality and for me this is what has always separated Rashford from the very best.
In football and sport as a whole mentality is the one thing you need more than anything, it’s what separates the good from the great and I don’t know if rashford has that real hunger and desire in him to be great. The kind of desire where you’re willing to get hurt to score a goal.
