The Red Devils star has criticized rumors that he had a fight with the Norwegian coach during a tough loss.
Bruno Fernandes denied reports that he had an argument with Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during the Premier League loss to Tottenham.
Fernandes was reportedly furious at halftime of the clash earlier this month, and the midfielder was substituted at halftime with United losing 4-1 before suffering a 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford.
The Portugal international had opened the scoring from the penalty spot but is said to have had a blowout with Solskjaer at half-time.
However, Fernandes dismissed those claims after Portugal’s 3-0 Nations League win over Sweden on Wednesday.
“There has been a lot of speculation about it,” said the midfielder. Sports TV, via A Ball.
“First it was a discussion with teammates, as it didn’t hold, it was a discussion with only one teammate [Victor Lindelof], as he did not stay now, is the discussion with Solskjaer.
“I think it is a way to destabilize the group. What was said is by no means true.
“They replaced me at half-time, it is true, by technical option. The coach told me that the game was almost over and that we had many games ahead of us. Understood. I was not satisfied but I did not say anything.” that could hurt the group. “
After just one win in the first three games of the Premier League season, Solskjaer has come under increasing pressure at United.
But Fernandes insisted that Manchester United were ready to respond against Newcastle United on Saturday, while warning that speculation must stop.
“Don’t use my name, my teammates or the manager to create problems at Manchester United,” he said. “The atmosphere is good and the team is ready to give an answer in the next game.”
The Red Devils are currently 16th in the Premier League with just three points from their first three games of the new season.
Fernandes has enjoyed a more successful spell with his nation over the past week and believes they did well to beat Sweden in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
“We were not asked to play differently, our ambition remains the same. The team has great values but it is obvious that it is easier to win with the best in the world, “he said after the game.
