  "account": "Manchester United's press office prevented Bruno Fernandes from speaking to Sky Sport Italia's pitchside reporter Pierluigi Bagnulo in Italian after the team's 4-1 loss to Como in a Champions League match, according to the journalist. Bagnulo observed the team's apparent disarray, noting the manager's Carrick's interaction with fans and Fernandes' inability to converse in Italian. Fernandes, who played in Italy earlier in his career, spoke fluent Italian. Following the match, Fernandes stated that Manchester United must move past the past, while Carrick disagreed, accusing the club of crumbling. Zvonimir Boban, a Sky Sport Italia pundit, harshly criticized both Fernandes and Manchester United, stating that the club would struggle for success as long as Fernandes remains the team's top player.",
