Bruno Fernandes Breaks Silence On Tense Handshake With Cristiano Ronaldo

Bruno Fernandes was seen in a video clip leaving Ronaldo with a stone face after it had appeared the midfielder had delayed to shake Ronaldo’s hand following the 37-year-old’s offer to do so.

Summing it all up, Bruno Fernandes then went on to greet the other teammates in a more cheery manner compared to how he had greeted Ronaldo.

The video has already convinced many into thinking Bruno Fernandes is unhappy with the comments from Ronaldo on the interview with Piers Morgan.

However, Portugal Midfielder, Joao Mario was fast to debunk claims of any such aura in the dressing room, claiming both players shared a joke as Bruno arrived and nothing more.

‘I was in the locker room at that moment,’ Mario said. ‘I saw pictures. It was a joke between them. Bruno Fernandes was one of the last to arrive. Cristiano asked: ‘Did you come by boat?’”

Fernandes in addition has now added volume to Mario as he took to his IG page to share: ‘Oh Joao Mario, there you are ruining the newspaper headlines’, with a laughing and facepalm emoji.

No matter how much pretense Bruno may try to put out, its vivid that certain players in the team are unhappy with the ongoing rift.

Jamie Carragher in an interview also made a big claim stating Ronaldo only granted the interview because he is looking for an escape route.

‘This was always going to happen,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘It was always going to end like this.

‘That’s exactly why I said 18 months ago: it was a massive mistake for Manchester United to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the club.

‘I just thought the comments [revealed on Sunday] were bizarre. They were bang out of order considering the timing of it: just hours after Manchester United fans being delighted after getting a winning goal at Fulham with the last kick of the game.

‘It should give them excitement over the next month for when the league starts again. They should be enjoying themselves and then the Ronaldo interview comes out and boom – it’s about negativity.

‘Not the team, not the manager – it’s about Cristiano Ronaldo. And it’s been like that since he’s come back. It’s basically been the Cristiano Ronaldo show.

‘At times that’s been good on the pitch, last season he got a lot of goals. But this season he’s not involved and he’s craving the attention that he can’t get because he’s not on the pitch.

‘The only way he’s going to do that is by causing trouble and that was exactly his intention with the interview.

‘He wants to be sacked, that’s obvious. He told the club in the summer that he wanted to leave, which is football – these things happen. There were no takers, maybe because of his wages or the price Manchester United wanted.

‘I think he knows that’s going to be the same in this next transfer window and maybe the following summer and he is now trying to be sacked or wants to leave on a free. That’s the only way he’s going to get out.

‘And I think United should sack him or move him on by giving him a free transfer. At the moment, they’re trying to build something that is not trying to win the Premier League or the Champions League right now.

‘The manager will want to push for those honors in the next two or three years and Ronaldo is not going to be around.

‘He is going to be a distraction, this will not go away. As soon as a player comes out and says he doesn’t respect the manager, how is that going to work when he walks into the first day of the post-World Cup season?

‘It can’t work that going forward – there will be people taking pictures, we will be asking about Ronaldo to the manager in interviews for Sky. United don’t need the hassle.’
