Fan footage of Bruno Fernandes' interaction with a group of Manchester City supporters has emerged online.
Ruben Amorim's Manchester United climbed to 12th in the Premier League on Sunday night as late goals from Fernandes and Amad Diallo sealed a memorable three points at the Etihad.
It was a dramatic ending to the game in Manchester. With just five minutes of normal time remaining, Matheus Nunes played a back pass directly to Amad, who was then fouled by the winger inside the area.

Fernandes, who has notched six goals and nine assists for United this season, went on to equalise from the spot after sending Ederson the wrong way.
And two minutes later, a long ball over the top from Lisandro Martinez found the in-form Amad, who rounded the Manchester City goalkeeper before finishing from an acute angle.
After the full-time whistle, United captain Bruno Fernandes could be seen reminding City fans of the scoreline at full-time.

It appears those in the crowd were holding up four fingers to represent their consecutive Premier League title wins but Fernandes proceeded to point at the scoreboard before holding up two fingers on his right hand, and one on the left.
Here's how fans reacted to the below footage.
One said: "City players must’ve been talking bares because they didn’t even do this after the cup final," while another commented: "That's my captain."
A third wrote: "Bruno Fernandes is in his villain era and I’m absolutely here for it."

A fourth said: "Bruno Fernandes had the final word, reminding Man City fans who came out on top," and a fifth added: "That cheeky grin at the end."
Speaking in his post-match interview after Sunday's win, Fernandes was full of praise for fellow goalscorer, Amad Diallo.
"He has been doing well, he has been doing great things and there is still a lot to come from him," Fernandes told Sky Sports.

"He showed again today he is always alive. That is why he gets the penalty, and why he gets the goal. He has been brilliant. When he is like this he is unstoppable."
The Portuguese midfielder added: "I just want him to keep working. That is what he has been doing. It is great what he did today but I am sure he can do this every week. We want this week in, week out. He is now getting his chances, deservedly."
