Gary Neville stands by Bruno Fernandes criticism despite Manchester United star's explanation

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Gary Neville believes Bruno Fernandes 'goes over the top' with his behavior on the football pitch as the Manchester United legend reiterated his criticism of the midfielder.

Fernandes has come in for flak for his expressive body language several times since joining United in January 2020 but things came to a head during the 7-0 defeat to Liverpool when he was seen waving his arms in frustration toward teammates and putting his hands on a linesman.

Neville was on commentary for the match and wasn't happy with what he was seeing. At one of the many kick-offs in the second half, Neville even suggested that Fernandes had asked to be taken off judging from his body language.

Fernandes moved to defend himself in a recent interview with Sky Sports, saying a lot of the criticism he received for the Anfield mauling was 'complete lies.' READ MORE: 'I've had plenty of injuries in my time, but by far the worst was in my head' "I never try to be disrespectful with anyone.
