Liverpool vs Man United: Bruno Fernandes Appears to Ask to be Substituted During Anfield Humiliation

• Bruno Fernandes became the centre of attention during Man United's Premier League clash against Liverpool
• The United midfielder seemed desperate to get substituted shortly after Liverpool scored their fifth goal
• Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez all scored a brace, with Roberto Firmino also getting his name on the scoresheet

Bruno Fernandes was part of a strong Manchester United team named by Erik ten Hag to take on rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, March 5.

However, the Portuguese midfield playmaker was unable to have an impact during the Premier League cracker as Liverpool mauled United 7-0.

According to The Guardian, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo were Liverpool's match heroes as they netted a brace apiece to put the Red Devils to the sword.

Gakpo, who snubbed a move to Old Trafford last summer, opened the scoring for the hosts with a few minutes left before the break.

Nunez doubled the advantage shortly after the restart, before Gakpo completed his brace shortly after.

Salah joined the goal fest in the 66th minute, with Roberto Firmino also getting his name on the scoresheet with two minutes left on the clock.

Bruno asks for substitution

The second half of the match saw Fernandes lose his cool, with the midfielder making petulant challenges, arguing with officials and losing possession.

The former Sporting Lisbon skipper allowed emotions to get the better of him and was lucky not to be punished.

So much so that he appeared to ask for a substitution after Liverpool's fifth goal scored by Nunez in the 75th minute.

Metro UK reports that Fernandes stood in the centre circle to restart the match when Ten Hag decided to ring some changes.

The publication reports that Bruno was hoping to be subbed off, only for Ten Hag to bring on Anthony Elanga for Marcus Rashford.

The change left the United captain on the night angry as he reacted by throwing his hands up in the air.

Bruno's actions have earned him condemnation from a section of Man United fans, with Gary Neville describing the midfielder's actions as 'disgraceful.'

Salah sets new record vs Man United

Sports Brief has also reported that Mohamed Salah has become Liverpool's all-time top scorer in the English Premier League after scoring a brace in the massacre of Manchester United at Anfield.

The Egyptian forward scored twice to equal and break Robbie Fowler's 128 goals haul in the English League for the Reds.

Salah has now netted 129 goals in 203 Premier League games since joining the club in 2017 from Fiorentina.
