Manchester United legend Gary Neville has criticizes Bruno Fernandes’s behavior in United’s shambolic 7-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield adding that the Portuguese was an embarrassment.

Manchester United conceded six goals in the second half and Gary Neville says Bruno Fernandes’ behaviour summed up their second half display in which the former Sporting Lisbon star was branded as “embarrassing” and “a shambles”

Bruno Fernandes was an “embarrassment” and that summed up Manchester United’s 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool at Anfield, according to Gary Neville via Skysports.

The midfielder was criticised by Neville for feigning injury under challenges by Ibrahima Konate and Alisson Becker, He also criticized the midfielder’s behavior after Liverpool scored their sixth.

“Bruno Fernandes stood in the centre circle with his arms raised saying ‘Why isn’t it me coming off?’ Honestly,” said Neville.

“I think some of his behaviour in the second half has been a disgrace.”

Asked to summarise United’s display at Liverpool, Neville added: “That first 40 minutes was what I would call a classic away performance at Anfield. Manchester United weathered the storm and it looked like they were going to get that goal and go ahead at half-time.

“The second-half has been an absolute disgrace, a shambles. They have not been epitomised more than Bruno Fernandes, who has been embarrassing – a shambles – in this game.

“But I have to say it’s not their usual performance. It’s not their usual spirit and form. Ten Hag will deal with it I’m sure, like he’s dealt with other difficult issues.”

The former United defender continued: “The second half was an absolute disgrace. I’ll start with the captain because you are the captain of the football club.

“Bruno Fernandes can wind you up sometimes because of the way he is, but that was appalling in the second half.

“The rest of them didn’t show up. The whole back four was a disgrace. That can’t become the norm. That has to be put down as something we never see again.”

Dawin Nunez, Gapko, Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino where all on target as Liverpool inflicted United with their heaviest defeat since Boxing Day 1931.
