Manchester United disappointed by portrayal of Bruno Fernandes injury after viral Fulham Tik-Tok
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United are unhappy with the way Bruno Fernandes was portrayed as having feigned injury in the dying moments of their weekend defeat to Fulham in the Premier League.
A clip posted to Fulham's official TikTok account showed Fernandes going down with an injury in the dying moments of the Old Trafford defeat before he got bac to his feet in an attempt to try and find a winning goal for his side.
