Bruno Fernandes criticised Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport for appearing to take his words about Manchester United out of context in order to criticise Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the club in November.
Ronaldo's contract at Old Trafford was terminated before the start of the World Cup in Qatar and United have won every game since the Al-Nassr player's last appearance for the Reds, with Erik ten Hag's side now on a nine-game winning run after beating Manchester City on Saturday.
United defeated City 2-1 in the Manchester derby thanks to goals from Fernandes and Marcus Rashford and the midfielder told BT Sport after that victory: "[We] used to be individuals, now we are a team. You can see a proper team that works for each other."
