Football legend turned pundit and commentator, Gary Neville has hit out at Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes for reportedly being annoyed at not being substituted during their 7-0 loss to Liverpool.
After trailing 1-0 before half time following a Cody Gakpo opener, the Red Devils were blown away in the second half with Jurgen Klopp’s side hitting an extra six. Gakpo got another with Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez getting a brace each before Roberto Firmino who will leave Anfield at the end of the season, bagged the seventh of the evening. After Salah became Liverpool’s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer in the 83rd minute when he tapped home from close range to make it 6-0, co-commentator Gary Neville spotted something going on. Neville suggested that a frustrated Fernandes was struggling to hide his discontent at being left on the pitch as Anthony Elanga replaced Marcus Rashford in the final minutes. He said; 
“Bruno Fernandes is stood in the centre circle with his arms raised saying ‘why is it me not coming off?’ “Honestly, I have to say some of his behaviour in the second half has been a disgrace. I’ve had enough of him throwing his arms about, not running about. That wasn’t a captain’s performance by him.” Fellow pundit and former Man Utd team-mate Keane said: “Fernandes’ body language today was disgraceful. Players will no doubt feel ashamed. They went missing in the second half. “But I have to say Liverpool were absolutely amazing. Their energy, decision-making… Liverpool were back to their very, very best.” Sky cameras failed to show his so-called outburst but footage from the stands has since emerged showing the Portuguese midfielder’s reaction.

Addressing reporters after the match, Ten Hag said he was disappointed with the way his players reacted to conceding two goals so soon after the break. He added that he couldn’t recognize the team throughout the match. The Dutch coach said; “It’s 3-0, as a team you stick together. We didn’t do that. I’m surprised to see this from our team, I don’t think it’s us, I don’t think it’s Manchester United.” 
Ten Hag also averred that the Manchester United side which played against Liverpool were “unprofessional”. He added; “After halftime, so quickly we gave the game away. We made bad decisions on the ball, how we anticipate, how we concede the goal. The third [goal] was a counter and we were so unprofessional with our decisions, running away, giving the space away, not tracking back.” 
Manchester United held their own for much of the first-half against Liverpool, only to see Cody Gakpo break the deadlock in the 43rd minute. The Red Devils then suffered the most dramatic of second-half collapses as the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino got in on the act. The 7-0 defeat became the Red Devils’ heaviest defeat in 92 years. They also suffered 7-0 losses to Wolves in December 1931, Aston Villa in December 1930 and Blackburn Rovers in April 1926. 
Reacting to the defeat, De Gea said in a statement; “I know these message don’t sit well on such a day. This was a disastrous moment for us and these results shouldn’t happen, especially with the journey we are all on. We have a duty to this club, a responsibility to represent the badge but we have many opportunities to look ahead, many games coming fast and we have to lock our focus on these.” 
The actor, Dave Ogbeni took to his Instagram page to lament over how some of his friends and some politicians have branded all female actresses as prostitutes. However, Dave Ogbeni has told his friends to demarcate and distinguish between actresses who came into the movie industry to show their actions to those who only joined the industry to sell their bodies. “There should be a clear-cut demarcation between Nollywood actresses and Nollywood prostitutes. No be every girl come for the craft, many came for the (indirect) cash”, he wrote on his page.
