I think it\u2019s a great appointment. Long-term, the players seem to like him which could be a worrying sign as you don\u2019t want the players to like you too much, but I don\u2019t think they could have really made a better appointment than him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that previous managers should have got more of an opportunity, but I believe Michael will get more time than some of them, even if it doesn\u2019t go as well as people expect early on. From that point of view, it\u2019s a good decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On whether Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes deserves to win the PFA Player of the Year award, Barnes added: \u201cI think a player from a club who\u2019s either won or challenged to win the Premier League should be winning PFA Player of the Year. For example, Georgi Kinkladze at Manchester City was a fantastic player, but he played in a team that got relegated. I would have thought Declan Rice for this year, but Bruno Fernandes has done really well for Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not interested in individual awards, even when I won it myself because it\u2019s more about the team. The greatest pleasure I ever got for it was that six of my teammates were in the Team of the Year because they are the ones that help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-green-light-sign-second-midfielder-69m-star-rejects-new-contract-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd leading midfield target given \u2018green light\u2019 as \u00a369m star decides to \u2018reject\u2019 rival \u2018offer\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd \u201cwill do many other things\u201d in the summer transfer market after signing Ederson from Atalanta, according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-480715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
