Paul Scholes has defended Bruno Fernandes after the stand-in Manchester United captain was called "embarrassing" by Gary Neville.
Fernandes was slammed by Neville for his woeful performance on Sunday, as United were thumped 7-0 by bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield. Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored braces, while substitute Roberto Firmino also found the net.
Yet Scholes believes Fernandes deserves a break after being played out of position. The Portuguese star did not play in his favoured No.10 role due to the presence of Wout Weghorst, with Scholes claiming the Dutchman is not good enough to play for United.
