Gary Neville has once again hit out at Bruno Fernandes for the way he behaves on the football pitch, comparing his actions to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neville recently blasted Bruno for his antics during the 7-0 thrashing to Liverpool at Anfield after the Portuguese was captured waving his arms around in frustration - as well as putting his hands on the assistant referee.

Neville had also claimed that Bruno had asked to be substituted during that game.

This prompted Bruno to hit back at Neville, labelling the accusations towards him from the Anfield game as “complete lies”.

Neville has now responded to Bruno’s comments, and he did not hold back.

What did Neville say about Fernandes?

"I don't talk to any United fan that likes the way Fernandes behaves particularly when the team are losing, when he throws his arms around," Neville said on Sky Sports.

"As a football player he's been fantastic for United, his goals and assists. He says he doesn't cause a problem when he throws his arms around, he does. I played with Roy who would hand out the odd rollicking. The last few years there's been players at United tutting which I think is a different type of criticism, it doesn't help young players.

"I called it out when Cristiano was doing it a couple of years ago, I don't like it. Direct criticism is fine. He is passionate, he is emotional, he gets involved with the referee. I've got no problem with that. Every United man I speak to feels the same thing, sometimes he goes over the top."

Bruno is in action on Sunday during Man Utd’s trip to play Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
