Liverpool legend Graeme Souness slams 'nonsense' from Man United star Bruno Fernandes

Liverpool great Graeme Souness has taken aim at Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes over "nonsense" antics at Euro 2020.

The former Reds boss is working as a pundit for ITV's coverage of the international tournament.

And he had a stern message over signs of petulance from the Portugal attacker.

Souness said on TV: “[Fernandes is] an exceptionally talented boy, there is so much to like about him. A great striker of the ball, when he shoots he makes the goalkeeper work.

“I played with players that would not be accepting of the thing you just touched on [petulance], you know he doesn’t get the ball and he is waving his hands around.

“He would not have lasted more than five minutes in my dressing room, but he is a wonderful talented boy."

Explaining his stance, Souness added: “It would be more along the lines of 'Who do you think you are? We play as a team, we win together, we lose together.'

“Sometimes you will make a bad pass, sometimes you will not see the whole picture.

“So all that nonsense, shaking your head and waving your arms at your own teammates, is a no no for me.”

Portugal won their first game against Hungary 3-0 following a late flurry of goals.

But after taking the lead against Germany last night, they fell to a heavy 4-2 defeat.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota assisted Cristiano Ronaldo for the opener and bagged a late consolation goal himself.
