Bruno Fernandes has been criticised for his on-field antics
After becoming one of the club’s most important players since his arrival, the Portuguese international replaced Harry Maguire ashas built up a reputation for being a fiery character which often resulted in yellow cards and criticism.After United’s dreadful performance during the 2-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, Fernandes came under fire yet again.: “It's getting embarrassing now. The young lad Pellistri comes on.
“Pellistri made a run, Fernandes didn't see him and [so] he made a different run but because he wasn't where [Fernandes] wanted him to be, he's going off at Pellestri.” continued: “It's every time. I saw an interview with him the other day and he said he needs to be emotional when he performs because it makes him play better.“But I feel like his body language on the pitch is disturbing the rest of the team and it's just not a good look at all. It's pathetic at times.”During United’s humiliating 7-0 defeat by Liverpool last season, ex-United man Gary Neville also blasted Fernandes for his on-field behaviour.
He said at the time: “They have not been epitomised more than Bruno Fernandes, who has been embarrassing - a shambles - in this game.“Bruno Fernandes is stood in the centre circle with his arms raised saying ‘Why isn’t it me coming off?’ Honestly. I think some of his behaviour in the second half has been a disgrace.”
United will get the chance to put things right when they take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
