CONFESSION: While I was playing against Manchester United, I did not hit Bruno Fernandes, yet he went fell down screaming as he always does

Despite the fact that I did not hit Bruno Fernandes while I was playing against Manchester United, he immediately went down and started yelling.

The Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, who is also Bruno Fernandes’ international colleague, has asserted that Manchester United’s captain acted as if he was injured in order to ensure that he was given a booking during the match that took place at Craven Cottage in November.

Pundits and fans of the opposing club have frequently criticized Fernandes for being “over-dramatic” during matches. This criticism has been directed toward his attitude toward the decisions made by referees as well as his behaviour toward his teammates. During the match that took place at Old Trafford in February, Fernandes was observed attempting to deceive the authorities with the intention of gaining an advantage against Fulham.

Danny Murphy was informed by Palhinha in an interview with the Daily Mail that he has been the recipient of his friend’s behavior during matches. Palhinha said that he has been on the receiving end of it. It was in November when we played Manchester United at home, and I recall being with Bruno at the time. The thought occurred to him, “I was given a yellow card.”

Despite the fact that I did not touch him, he was yelling like a child. He does it on a regular basis!

It was the following play when I drove with the ball, and he put a tackle on me. Despite the fact that it was not a foul, I continued to scream since he did the same thing. Even though he committed the foul, the referee did not show him a yellow card. I gave Bruno a kind smile.

“When it takes place inside the pitch, it is a very wonderful moment. It is fine because we are friends with one other.

Outside of the playing field, the players for Portugal enjoy a strong relationship with one another. We try to stay in touch with one another and always talk in our dressing rooms after each game.

Fernandes has been demonstrating the finest side of his game as of late, which has been of great assistance to United at a challenging period. On Saturday, on the road against AFC Bournemouth, he scored twice to salvage a draw for his team.

Despite the fact that the outcome could have been even more disastrous, United fell to seventh place as a result of Newcastle’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur. If Palhinha’s club is defeated by West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday, they will fall even farther in the standings.
