BRUNO FERNANDES confirmed his Manchester United team-mate Victor Lindelof launched an X-rated rant at him in the defeat to Sevilla.
But the Portuguese star insisted the close friends made up with a hug afterwards and there were no hard feelings.

Lindelof and Fernandes were involved in a heated exchange as the Red Devils crashed out of the Europa League semi-finals, with the latter unhappy at the Sweden international’s defending for Luuk de Jong’s winner.
At the time Fernandes declared the blazing row as “normal” in the tense match scenario.
It was reported that Lindelof called Fernandes a “son of a b****” on the pitch in Cologne.
And speaking to A Bola, the January signing conceded Lindelof – who spent five years with Benfica – had some choice words to say.
Fernandes said: “He is one of the people with whom I have the best relationship in the club, also because he speaks Portuguese, and as everyone saw he speaks well.
“Those were obviously the first words he learned in Portugal, it is always what we teach them.
“But it was a game situation that none took to heart. It ended and we went directly to our countries, he to Sweden and I to Portugal.
“At the farewell we hugged, we leaned our heads and didn’t even need to talk to each other.

“We stayed there for those two seconds hugging and we realised what we wanted to say to each other.”
Fernandes also hit back at critics who claimed he only scores penalties by comparing his stats to Kevin De Bruyne’s.
And he went on to admit he could one day go back to play for Sporting Lisbon, the team Manchester United signed him from for an initial £47million.
The Portuguese star added: “I want you to know that I liked, and I like, Sporting, I really enjoyed being there.
“I lived the club more than 100 per cent, every day at all hours, always with maximum intensity and love and passion for Sporting.”
On returning, he continued: “Who knows? I don’t close that door.”
