Portuguese player Bruno Fernandes, star of Manchester United, failed to convert a penalty in stoppage time during the match against Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League. The match saw a dramatic scenario, ending with the "Red Devils" suffering a surprising defeat from a late goal in the last minute of regular time.
Bruno Fernandes had a significant opportunity to equalize after the referee awarded a penalty to his team; however, he shot the ball over the crossbar in the third minute of stoppage time. This was the first penalty that United obtained since Ronaldo's return to the club, and everyone was eager to see if the star would take the penalties or if the task would remain with his compatriot Bruno.
Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær settled the matter by confirming Bruno as the primary penalty taker, given that he has scored 20 penalties for the "Red Devils" since his arrival, missing only one.
Despite Ronaldo not taking the penalty, he showed no signs of anger regarding the situation; on the contrary, he was the first to reach out to console and support his teammate after the missed opportunity for an equalizer. The match ended with a historic victory for Aston Villa at Old Trafford, leaving Manchester United with 13 points in fourth place, only distinguished by goal difference from Manchester City and Chelsea, and one point behind leaders Liverpool.
