Jamie Carragher mocks Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes ‘awkward handshake’

Jamie Carragher has mocked Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes' seemingly frosty greeting as the fallout from the Manchester United's star explosive interview continues.

Ronaldo's full interview with Piers Morgan is set to air this week across Wednesday and Thursday evening, and promotion clips have been dominating the news cycle since Sunday evening.

The 37-year-old has accused the club of "betrayal", said he will "never respect" manager Erik ten Hag, hit out at club legends Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, along with club owners the Glazers, in a string of attacks which surely spell the end of his time at United.

Ronaldo last night posted on Instagram that "total and absolute focus" is now on Portugal's World Cup hopes, though if his interaction with Fernandes is anything to go by then his chat with Morgan may have ruffled feathers.

Fernandes and Ronaldo's first interaction since the claims was caught on camera and could be viewed as awkward, and now Carragher is quick to jump on it.

Using a still of an out-of-context handshake between himself and fellow Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, Carragher crudely mocked up Ronaldo and Fernandes in a less-than-warm meet.
