Manchester United icon Gary Neville harshly criticized Bruno Fernandes for his 'outrageous' and 'humiliating' behavior as Liverpool inflicted an embarrassing 7-0 drubbing on the Red Devils.
The Red Devils were on the receiving end of their most crushing Premier League defeat ever with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Roberto Firmino all finding the back of the net.
It was a demoralizing loss for Erik ten Hag's team, who had been enjoying a phenomenal run of form in recent months.
But the fight and tenacity that had been on display by United in recent months was not present today, with Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Antony all making mistakes.
Fernandes, however, was the most guilty of losing his temper, spending most of the second half making petulant challenges, quarreling with the referees and giving away possession.
After the fifth goal was scored, Fernandes was seen in the centre circle, waiting to take kick-off as Ten Hag substituted Marcus Rashford with Anthony Elanga.

Fernandes raised his arms in vexation when he noticed it was Rashford and not himself being taken off, which was the last straw for Neville, who labeled the Portuguese's behavior 'disgraceful'.
'Bruno Fernandes is stood in the centre circle with his arms raised asking: 'Why is it me not coming off?', said Neville.
'Honestly, I have to say some of his behavior in the second half has been a disgrace.'
Towards the end of the massacre, Neville went even further by labeling Fernandes 'embarrassing'.
'The second half has been an absolute disgrace, a shambles,' said Neville.
'Epitomized by no-one more than the captain Bruno Fernandes, who I think has been embarrassing at times in this game but I have to say it's not their usual performance, spirit or form and he [Erik ten Hag] will deal with it very quickly.
