Saha rejects criticism of Man Utd captain Fernandes: Teammates must accept it

Former Manchester United title winner Louis Saha has rejected criticism of Bruno Fernandes' histrionics.

The Portugal international has been criticised for his performance during the 7-0 loss at Anfield, with Gary Neville in particular venting his frustration.

“I will defend Bruno, everyone is entitled to make mistakes and he will learn from them and reflect, maybe he'll see what fans and pundits have said about his behaviour and he will think about it… I think he wants to win and that's what I see in him," Saha told Compare.Bet.

“If the players around him are unhappy with his body language and are worried about being criticised by their captain, change jobs. That's it. You have to accept these things.

"Roy Keane used to do it too, he always looked for a reaction, whether it was the right one or not."
