FORMER Premier League goalkeeper Jimmy Walker has slammed Bruno Fernandes for his antics against Coventry City.
The Manchester United captain was spotted exchanging words with Coventry keeper Bradley Collins after he dispatched United’s fourth penalty.
And his antics did not go down with former West Ham goalkeeper Jimmy Walker, 50.
Walker, who played 20 games for West Ham, took to X to denounce the United star.
He wrote: “If I’m Cov gk I’m finding this rat down the tunnel #bigtimep**ck”
His critical post was accompanied by a photo of Fernandes doing a post-match interview after the final.

A confused fan asked Walker if it’s because the United player “stood up for himself”.
Walker quoted that post and responded: “No coz he’s a c***.”
West Ham fans loved the outburst with one replying: “Jimmy Walker for West Ham manager.”
Another said: “Walker well and truly on the money with that one.”

Fernandes’ penalty helped United reach the FA Cup final in the most embarrassing way possible.
The Red Devils were cruising at 3-0 up before an almighty collapse saw Coventry score three late goals to force extra time.
The Sky Blues then looked to have won it when they scored with what could have been the last kick of the game.
The goal was ruled out, however, for a “toenail offside” call on Haji Wright.
After surviving thanks to VAR intervention, United went on to win the game after Rasmus Hojlund’s winner in the shootout.
And while he was buzzing to have put United into a cup final, his fellow players appeared to be too embarrassed to celebrate with him after surviving the game by the skin of their teeth.
Victory his never been less glorious than this for Man Utd, says Dave Kidd
By Dave Kidd
PROBABLY only Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United could book a place in an FA Cup final while hanging their heads in shame.
Minutes after the final whistle of this ridiculous semi-final, Coventry’s magnificent underdogs were performing a lap of honour to their cheering fans — while most of United’s players and supporters had disappeared.
Then the Wembley PA system started blaring out ‘Glory, Glory Man United!’ and everybody started laughing out loud.
Victory has never been less glorious.
As a party-starter it, fell flat. As a stab at dark humour, it was sensational.
Even by United’s standards of low farce this was ridiculous.
Now even the unlikely scenario of a final victory over City is unlikely to save Ten Hag’s job.
After all, Louis van Gaal was axed days after United last won this competition in 2016 and his side were never as bad as this current lot.
