Fernandes engages in heated argument with fans

Legit.ng earlier reported that Bruno Fernandes was engaged in a heated exchange with traveling Manchester United fans after a shambolic performance against Watford on Saturday, November 20.

While the major talking point in the game will certainly be the scoreline and Harry Maguire’s red card with 20 minutes to play, Fernandes briefly stole the show with his conduct at the full-time whistle.

In a video of the incident, the Portuguese star is seen shaking his finger at the fans while gesturing to his teammates as if to say all the blame should not go to the manager.
