Bruno Fernandes quizzed on Cristiano Ronaldo interview and frosty handshake

Bruno Fernandes has played down suggestions that he has fallen out with Cristiano Ronaldo after the attacker’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

The full discussion has now been aired, with Ronaldo launching an extraordinary attack on Manchester United, Erik ten Hag and his team-mates. So far, few United players have commented publicly, amid reports that most want Ronaldo to be moved on.

There were suggestions that Fernandes was unhappy with his national team’s captain though as footage emerged of a frosty meeting between the duo in the Portugal dressing room earlier this week. Fernandes though has insisted he has not seen the interview and his full focus is on the World Cup.
“I didn’t read the interview so I am ok with that. As I’ve said before, now is the national team, it’s Portugal. I said to him, the coach made a point that it’s us. He made the point since I came to the national team in 2017,” he told Sky Sports.

“That is still clear in his mind, the main thing here is national team and us so we have to be focused on the World Cup because a World Cup doesn’t come every time, you don’t have a chance to play in a World Cup many times.
