Breaking news: Bruno Fernandes reveals why he missed the penalty against Arsenal, here is why he missed it .

 Manchester United interim boss Ralf 

Rangnick has revealed it was Cristiano

 Ronaldo's decision to not take the penalty

 missed by Bruno Fernandes against

 Arsenal, as fans took to social media 

to display their frustration.




Ronaldo took and scored from the penalty


 spot when the two teams met earlier in 


the season, when United won 3-2 at 


Old Trafford.



But it was Bruno who stepped up and 


struck the post this time as the Red Devils


 lost 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium and 


Rangnick says the decision was down


 to Ronaldo.




He said: 'I spoke with him after the game


 and asked him and he said he just didn't 


feel he should take it and that's why 


he said it would be better if Bruno took it.'



Fernandes has come under huge scrutiny


 from United fans on Twitter, with some


 claiming he should not have been the 


one who took the penalty.



One fan Tweeted: 'Bruno Fernandes 


or any other player shouldn't take penalties


 when Cristiano Ronaldo is on the pitch.


 Period.'





Another accused Fernandes of being a '


spoiled brat', saying: 'Bruno Fernandes is 


a spoiled brat. How do you not let Ronaldo 


take that penalty, knowing the importance


 of the moment. Sums up the united season


, egos getting in players ways and 


hurting' them



'Still can't believe they chose @B_Fernandes8 


to be our captain when we have @Cristiano 


The level of disrespect in this team toward 


Ronaldo is out of this world . Then Bru- 


No goes on to miss the penalty when one


 of the greatest penalty taker in our team


. Wtf is going on?,' a third United fan 


wrote in frustration.



Even Arsenal fan, Piers Morgan, couldn't 


help but make a joke of the situation. 


He Tweeted: 'Many thanks to Bruno 


Fernandes for insisting on taking United's


 penalty when Ronaldo's on the pitch, 


& then doing that. Comically bad 


captaincy.



Arsenal took the lead after just three minutes


 as Nuno Tavares reacted fast to David 


De Gea's save from Bukayo Saka's strike.





Saka doubled the lead with a penalty in 


the 34th minute before Ronaldo pulled 


one back for the visitors two minutes later.



The defeat for United was sealed 20 


minutes from time after Granit Xhaka 


got on the scoresheet with a powerful


 long-range strike past De Gea.



Rangnick believes the performance was 


an improvement from the midweek 4-0 


loss to Liverpool but he rued some of 


his team's defending against the Gunners.



'I think we showed a response, an improved


 performance compared to the game at 


Liverpool,' Rangnick said.



'But still we gave away an easy goal, 


an early goal, far too easy, the way we 


defended in that moment, we had two 


or three chances to clear the ball.'
