Bruno Fernandes: Roy Keane Twisted My Words. They Offered Me £200M, I Said No.

What was said

"Erik told me to take less shots from the outside of the box. He showed me a board with my success rating of shots on target, shots off target, and goals. Showed me the positions where I was more effective."

Bruno Fernandes revealed that former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag presented him with detailed shooting statistics demonstrating he was far more effective from certain positions inside the box than from long range. The data-driven approach led Fernandes to adjust his game, illustrating ten Hag's analytical management style.
