'Pathetic' Fernandes slammed for behaviour

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been heavily criticised for the way he treated a younger teammate in the loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils endured a bay trip to North London after going down 2-0 to Spurs last weekend, as their struggles against the big sides on the road continues.

Fernandes' behaviour on the pitch has once again come into question after he was seen having a go at teammate Facundo Pellestri late in the second half.

Former Manchester City star Micah Richards has been not been a fan of how the United captain behaves on the pitch.

"It's getting embarrassing now. The young lad Pellistri comes on, Fernandes is trying to get his team playing and I totally understand he's frustrated," Richards said on The Rest Is Football podcast.

"Pellistri made a run, Fernandes didn't see him and [so] he made a different run but because he wasn't where [Fernandes] wanted him to be, he's going off at Pellistri. 

"It's every time. I saw an interview with him the other day and he said he needs to be emotional when he performs because it makes him play better.

"But I feel like his body language on the pitch is disturbing the rest of the team and it's just not a good look at all. It's pathetic at times."
