Man Utd ace Fernandes slams 'destabilising' press over Ole clash claims: Stop causing trouble!

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has blasted media claims of a bust-up with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ever since defeat to Tottenham and his halftime substitution, press speculation has suggested Fernandes was upset with Solskjaer over his tactics for the 6-1 loss.

But Fernandes, after Portugal's Nations League qualifying victory over Sweden, declared: "There has been a lot of speculation.

"First, the discussion about my teammates didn't stick, then a discussion with a teammate just didn't stick [Victor Lindelof], then with the coach ... I think it was to destabilise, it's not true I was substituted and I was not satisfied. I didn't say anything to hurt him.

"He sent me a message to wish me luck [with Portugal] and if I wanted to talk about tactics. Don't use my name to cause trouble."
