Really? Neville clams: No Man Utd fan likes Fernandes behaviour

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has continued his vendetta against Bruno Fernandes.

Neville, who incorrectly accused Fernandes of requesting a substitution during a 7-0 demolition at the hands of Liverpool, doubled down on his rhetoric.

Fernandes recently gave an interview where he stated that he was not disrespectful, either towards officials or his teammates, during that game.

“I don't talk to any United fan that likes the way Fernandes behaves particularly when the team are losing, when he throws his arms around," Neville told Sky Sports.

“As a football player he's been fantastic for United, his goals and assists. He says he doesn't cause a problem when he throws his arms around, he does.

“I played with Roy who would hand out the odd rollicking. The last few years there's been players at United tutting which I think is a different type of criticism, it doesn't help young players.

“I called it out when Cristiano was doing it a couple of years ago, I don't like it. Direct criticism is fine. He is passionate, he is emotional, he gets involved with the referee. I've got no problem with that.

“Every United man I speak to feels the same thing, sometimes he goes over the top."
