Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was reportedly involved in a furious dressing room bust-up following Saturday’s disappointing 3-1 defeat against Brighton

Fernandes has never been one to shy away from expressing his discontent with teammates – and he now has the platform to do so as the club’s new captain.
