Fans all say the same thing after Bruno Fernandes slams ball into Man Utd target Frenkie de Jong sparking brawl


FANS were all saying the same thing as Bruno Fernandes whacked the ball at a floored Frenkie de Jong from close range.

The LaLiga leaders were furious with Fernandes, who had thumped the ball at his grounded opponent AFTER the referee’s whistle had been blown.

As De Jong writhed around in pain, his team-mates swarmed around Fernandes.

With Barca stars trying to confront the Portuguese star for his action, it was actually Raphinha that dragged him away.

Along with Fernandes, Sergi Roberto was also booked for his role in the melee.

United spent almost all of last summer’s transfer window trying to sign De Jong from Barca.

But, even after agreeing a fee, they were turned down by the 25-year-old.

Posting images of their own attacking midfielder, 28, thwacking the ball at De Jong, United fans came to their own conclusions.

One wrote: “Bruno to De Jong…….For rejecting us to play Champions League and end up playing in the Europa League just to be knocked out by us too.”

A second tweeted: “Bruno Fernandes to Frenkie de Jong, ‘this is for rejecting us.'”

And a third posted: “Bruno to De Jong ‘this is for wasting our time during the transfer window.'”

Another joked: “Never forget De Jong forfeited 2 years salary, settled for a pay cut to try and avoid Europa League with United only to be knocked out of the Europa League by United.”

De Jong was also booed at times by the United faithful.

The Red Devils enter Friday morning’s last-16 draw with the possibility of drawing Real Sociedad, Freiburg or Feyenoord.
