Bruno Fernandes reveals why he shushed Pep Guardiola 🤫 | OneFootball

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes reveals he shushed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola due to a ‘lack of respect’.

Fernandes – who joined United from Sporting in January – clashed with Guardiola towards the end of their 2-0 derby victory on March 8.

But while there was meaning behind the gesture, the 25-year-old insists there is no bad blood between the pair.

“You know, some people think: ‘Pep won everything, who is Bruno to diss him?’, but it’s about respect,” Fernandes told Sky Sports.

“I probably don’t do this again if I am on the pitch now. But, at that moment the words he told me made me mad, and on the pitch I am a little bit nervous, it is the kind of player I am.

“I have respect for Pep and what he won, and what he did for football because he changed some mentalities in football.

“At that moment he didn’t respect me and so he didn’t deserve my respect at that moment on the pitch.

“But for me it doesn’t matter. What goes on in the pitch, out of it, for me, it’s past.”

United were due to face Tottenham on Sunday, before all Premier League fixtures were cancelled until April due to coronavirus.
