In the "double red" away encounter
Liverpool (England)
The team lost 0:7 in the biggest fiasco in the club's history. Despite the fact that winning and losing is a normal part of soccer, the abandonment attitude of the players during the game made manager Tannhäuser furious. According to the British media, the famously harsh Tanhag was furious after the game, not only requiring the team to practice early the next morning, but also taking "humiliating" punitive measures to make the players face this shameful battle, and there is even news that the captain of the team, Bono Fernandes, may lose the captaincy as a result.
Tannhäuser described his team's performance as "amateurish" and "unacceptable" after the match. Earlier in the season, United suffered a four-goal defeat against Brentford, and Tannhäuser punished the team by running 13.8 kilometers. This time, he opted for mental punishment, and sources told The Sun that Tannhäuser's reaction after the game was the "angriest ever".

Widely criticized captain Bono Fernandes may have to pay a heavy price. The Daily Mail reports that United had doubts about the Portuguese international's captaincy, and those doubts have intensified after this match. Fernandes not only gave up too early in the game, but also got involved in controversial incidents such as fake punt and shoving the referee, and even refused to thank the away fans after the game and went straight back to the dressing room, whose attitude triggered the dissatisfaction of the fans.

With captain Halimaguni's departure highly likely this summer, the new captain is expected to be a choice between Dickia, Kasmiru and Warani. Although sources say that Tannhäuser won't strip Bonfiglioli of his vice-captaincy this season in order to avoid unnecessary friction that could affect morale, Bonfiglioli's chances of taking over the captaincy officially next season seem to have become very slim.
