The Manchester United captain contested his fifth yellow card of the season in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford, meaning he will now face a one-match ban for the trip to Anfield.
BeIN Sports presenter Richard Keys felt the Red Devils playmaker was deliberately warned by colleague Andy Gray at the time to ensure he missed the game against the Premier League leaders. But former United defender Neville directly dismissed the suggestions when he appeared on NBC on Sunday morning.”I think this story is scandalous. “When I look at Bruno Fernandes, I love Bruno Fernandes, he thinks of Manchester United.“Look at the top six teams, that’s the only player they can get. Look at the only player who survived the loss. This is Bruno Fernandez.”Captains have been playing like Bruno Fernandes for years. Roy Keane moans and groans like Bruno Fernandes. “He is the best player in this team, he plays on the right wing and in midfield and he continues to do that because he is interested in the club.”But Keys doubled down on her recommendation for Fernandez on Sunday, writing to X: “For the avoidance of doubt, let me say it again.
Fernandes knew he would miss the game at Anfield if he was cautioned.”He didn’t want to play there. When I go down 0-3, I get angry. Captain? leader? “And others should challenge him.”
It would be shameful for anyone to tell it publicly,” said Marcel.
