Bruno Fernandes aimed a ruthless dig at Aston Villa fans after he scored Manchester United's winner in Sunday's Premier League clash.

Fernandes scored the only goal of the game as Man United ran out 1-0 winners at Old Trafford.

He smashed home from close range to secure a big win as the Red Devils look well-placed to finish in the top-four this season.

The goal also brought up the Portuguese's 100th league goal of his career as he produced an ice-cold celebration after finding the back of the net.

Speaking after the result, he trolled the Villa supporters, stating that he'd prefer them to support their players rather than focus on him.

"They probably don't like to play against me," he told MUTV. "I would prefer them to come and support their players rather than focus on me."

In another interview, he added: "It was just a celebration. I scored in that corner [so] I have to go to that corner. I couldn’t run all the way to the other corner to celebrate or go all the way to the Stretford End to celebrate. I just went there.

"I didn’t do anything disrespectful. I think they (the fans) did a little bit, but I didn’t. I did my job, I scored and I celebrated like I always celebrate."

It's a far cry from the last meeting between the two sides in Manchester as Fernandes blazed a penalty over the bar in a 1-0 defeat last season.

The 28-year-old likes playing against Villa, having now scored seven goals in eight games against the Midlands outfit.
