BRUNO FERNANDES has rubbished claims he ignored new Manchester United keeper Andre Onana during his side’s defeat to Real Madrid.
And, in response to a clip on social media showing the interaction between the pair, he slammed fans for trying to “make it look bad”.

Man Utd were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid on Thursday, before they followed that up with another defeat to Borussia Dortmund – losing 3-2 in Las Vegas.
But prior to the game against Dortmund, a short video emerged online appearing to show Fernandes walking straight past Onana as the shot-stopper tried to speak to him during the Real Madrid clash.
And the caption to the clip painted the new Red Devils skipper in a bad light.
It read: “Captain Bruno don’t want anyone [to] correct him or advise him.
“Bruno completing [sic.] ignores new signing Onana .”
However, Fernandes was having none of it as he replied to the post by explaining what was really going on.
He said: “Nice how you could see me ignoring him when I was going to the place we was telling me to be positioned in the corner .
“Nice try to make it look bad .”

Fernandes was recently given the armband by Erik ten Hag after Harry Maguire was stripped of the captaincy.
The Portuguese star will make his Premier League debut as official club skipper when they kick off their campaign at home to Wolves on August 14.
Meanwhile, £47million signing Onana – who joined from Inter Milan earlier this month – could be seen berating Maguire during their defeat to Dortmund.
The England defender’s poor pass almost led to United conceding a goal – with Onana taking no prisoners in response.
