3 passes, 0 shots, 1 yellow: United were right to not sign reckless 22-yo star

Manchester United decided against signing Mateus Fernandes, a 22-year-old star, due to concerns over his reckless attitude. The atmosphere at Carrington is positive as United prepare for their Sunday match against Everton. United's midfield has shown they can be a threat to opponents this season. Fernandes struggled during his pre-season, with Tottenham Hotspur failing to win any of their first three Premier League matches this season.

The young player has only started one game for Spurs, playing as a number ten against Newcastle United. Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's coach, felt Fernandes was better suited in a more advanced role, but De Zerbi moved him to a higher position in the next game and only brought him on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. Fernandes' performance in the match was poor, with only three passes, no shots, and no defensive contribution, as he received a yellow card just 42 seconds after coming on.

Despite acknowledging Fernandes' potential, his behavior on and off the pitch raises concerns, which United wisely decided to avoid by not signing him.
