After Manchester United’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday, Bruno Fernandes lashed out at his teammates, including Marcus Rashford. As United’s grip on a top-four spot loosened further, Erik ten Hag’s assistant Steve McClaren got involved at St. James’ Park.
After the final whistle on Tyneside, Sky Sports cameras caught Fernandes furiously gesticulating toward the bench.
The Portuguese playmaker appeared to be telling his teammates to go to the away fans who stayed until the end of what was arguably United’s worst 90-minute performance since Ten Hag took over.
According to the Manchester Evening News, McClaren was forced to order Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford to go over and acknowledge the visiting fans after Fernandes yelled at them to do the same.
United’s away fans have witnessed a string of disasters this season as Ten Hag’s side struggles to replicate their dominant home form on the road.
Fernandes also paid tribute to those looking down from the heavens in St James’ infamous away section.
After the Newcastle defeat, Bruno Fernandes lashed out at three Manchester United players.
United has only taken one point from the last nine Premier League games and 12 from the last 27.
It has dragged the Red Devils back into the top-four battle that they appeared to be out of, with Newcastle leapfrogging them into third place.
If Tottenham Hotspur beat Everton on Monday, Ten Hag’s side will drop to fifth, albeit with two games in hand over the Lilywhites.
Next week, Old Trafford hosts two Premier League games against Brentford and Everton, giving United a chance to get back on track.
