United found themselves trailing 4-0 at the break with braces from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. Erik ten Hag's side looked out of sorts for a team that had managed to beat Liverpool and Arsenal in recent times.

Fernandes struggled to dictate and influence the play despite the absence of Rodri, who missed out due to illness. City goalkeeper turned out to be a spectator for large periods of the game until towards the end when United threatened to launch an insurmountable comeback.

Fernandes' bad day in office was compounded when his international teammate Cancelo left him on the floor with a lovely piece of skill. With the score 6-1 at the 79th minute, Cancelo received the ball from Ederson with Fernandes bearing down on him.

The former Juventus defender feigned a turn leaving Fernandes on the turf, much to the delight of the Etihad fans.
