Man United Star Bruno Fernandes Breaks Silence Over Him 'Losing Faith' In Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Bruno Fernandes has vehemently denied that he has 'fallen out' with Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Red Devils' devastating 6-1 defeat to Tottenham.

The 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder has become an integral part of United's squad since the Red Devils' stunning £47m acquisition arrived at Old Trafford in January.

But Fernandes appeared far from happy with United's last performance as Spurs humiliated them 6-1 at Old Trafford before the start of the international break.

The ex-Sporting CP star fired United into an early lead from the spot-kick, only to see the Red Devils head into half-time down 4-1 and reduced to 10 men after Anthony Martial's dismissal.

Fernandes was reportedly furious at half-time and had a bust-up with Solskjaer before he was subbed off at the break for Fred.

The United midfielder has been on international duty with Portugal and broke his silence over the rumours after his side's 3-0 win over Sweden in the Nations League on Wednesday.

"There's been a lot of speculation about that," Fernandes told Sport TV.

"First it was a discussion with teammates, as it did not stick, it was a discussion with only one teammate [Victor Lindelof], as it did not stick now, it is the discussion with Solskjaer.

"I believe it is a way to destabilise the group. What was said is in no way true.

"I was replaced at half-time, it is true, by technical option. The coach told me that the game was almost over and that we would have a lot of games ahead of us. Got it. I was not satisfied but said nothing that could harm the group."

United, who have lost two of their opening three Premier League matches, will return to action on Saturday with an away trip to Newcastle.

Fernandes has insisted that speculation over him and his teammates 'must stop' and the Red Devils are ready to bounce back in their next match.

"Do not use my name, my colleagues or the coach to make trouble at Manchester United," he said.

"The atmosphere is good and the team is ready to give an answer in the next game."
