It was noted that after starring in the Red Devils’ Manchester derby triumph, Fernandes had mentioned that they look like a ‘proper team’. Some onlookers took his comments as a dig at his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who parted ways with the club in November by mutual consent.
But the Portuguese has now clarified his comment by uploading a message to his Instagram story.
Speaking He wrote: “I know that is difficult to see Manchester United doing well, [but I] don’t have anything to [say] about us on the news apart good things. Don’t use my name to attack Cristiano. Cristiano was part of our team for half the season and as I said in many interviews, everyone since Liverpool is being amazing and acting like a proper team and you can see the results. We carry on!”
