Bruno Guimaraes – Man up message from Newcastle United skipper | OneFootball

Bruno Guimaraes experienced defeat for the first time as Newcastle United captain in a competitive game.

Apart from Harvey Barnes, none of the starting eleven covered themselves in glory at Craven Cottage.

Bruno Guimaraes though declaring ‘I’m man enough to own my mistakes!’

The Newcastle United skipper saying he will ‘never hide’ and ‘keep working for better days ahead.’

Bruno Guimaraes admitting that both he and the team overall have to improve on what we have all seen so far this season.

However, Eddie Howe, Bruno and the rest of this group of Newcastle United players have built up more than enough goodwill these past months and indeed years, to be trusted to find the answers, to get this Newcastle United team playing to the levels we know that they are capable of.

Bruno Guimaraes reacts via his own personal social media to the defeat at Fulham:

“I’m man enough to own my mistakes!

“Tough day for all of us.

“But I’ll never hide!

“We need to improve as a team and individually and I’m 100% included in that.

“Keep working for better days ahead.”
