Manchester United suffered their worst defeat since 1931 on Sunday, losing 7-0 to Liverpool at Anfield. While the entire team endured a second-half collapse, captain Bruno Fernandes was singled out for a particularly poor performance, marked by petulant behaviour and a lack of discipline.
Fernandes was seen losing possession repeatedly, waving his arms in frustration, shoving a fourth official, feigning injury, diving for a penalty, and even remonstrating with his own manager about not being substituted. His antics drew comparisons to a toddler's tantrum, overshadowing an already humiliating defeat for the visitors.
Other United players, including Antony, Fred, Casemiro, Lisandro Martínez, and Luke Shaw, also came under fire for their performances. Shaw later apologised, calling the result 'unacceptable' and 'embarrassing,' while Marcus Rashford and David de Gea issued social media apologies, though Fernandes remained silent at the time of writing.
In the aftermath, Sky Sports' coverage featured a heated debate between pundits Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Graeme Souness, and Jamie Carragher, with presenter Kelly Cates noting that Liverpool 'didn't even play that well' despite the record scoreline.
