Bruno Fernandes was caught on camera hitting out at Aston Villa supporters from the dugout during Manchester United's defeat to the Premier League side. Fernandes was taking his place among the substitutes after picking up an injury during the game , which saw him replaced.

With his hood up and Villa fans laughing, Fernandes could be seen turning in their direction and attempting to put them down. "You sing more for me than for your team," he said.

"Don't be angry because I score always against you," he added with a smile. The Villans offered a sarcastic cheer as Fernandes was guided back into his seat by a member of United staff and faced the pitch.

The Red Devils captain's smile may not have lasted too long as Morgan Rogers' goals on either side of Mathues Cunha's effort ensured a 10th win in a row for Unai Emery's side. Fernandes was unable to add to his own impressive record against Villa, in the opening 45 minutes.

The 31-year-old has scored more goals against the Midlands club than any other opponent. United's talisman has bagged seven goals in 13 appearances and added three assists.

He was left with little to smile about in defeat and did not receive a reassuring prognosis. Fernandes could be ruled out for a month .

"It's a soft tissue, I think he's going to lose some games," said Amorim after the game against Villa. "I don't know for sure. Let's see. I don't know. I don't what to talk about matters you can't control.

"He is a guy who is always fit, so he might recover quite well. I think Kobbie Mainoo is out, Bruno is out. We will see. No excuses, we need to win the next game and we will try to win the next game."

Despite Fernandes' absence, Gary Neville believes United were the better team against Villa. The former club captain was reassured by the performance from Amorim's side.

“I thought it was a really good performance, but the details of the two goals have cost them," he said. “Now that’s going to continue to happen whilst they don’t have the likes of Harry Maguire and Matthijs De Ligt, and they don’t have players that would make them a lot stronger.

“I don’t think they are anywhere near good enough to get into that top three, but what I have seen in these last two games is a couple of things. One, the manager has changed, quite obviously, the system that he said he would never change – the five or the three at the back, the two in midfield, the two wing backs and the three up front – has been thrown out of the window in the last two matches. That’s a good thing.”
