And now Red Devils star Fernandes has fired a warning shot after he was singled out by Agbonlahor in a scathing assessment of United’s recent form.
Former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor reckons Fernandes is not pulling his weight at Old Trafford.
And he questioned why the Portuguese ace was not getting criticised like teammates Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford.
Agbonlahor said: “It’s easy to point the finger at Maguire, Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho.

“For me, Fernandes… Since he arrived in the Premier League, yes he has had great goals and assists, but he looks like the worst teammate.
“Whenever a player or himself loses the ball, he raises his arms towards his teammates and the bench.
“I played with players like that, we would be furious with him, with that pressure. If it was Pogba? He’d be crucified in the press. But he gets away with it, he gets away with murder.
“Have you seen him do anything? It’s easy to talk about Maguire, Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho… I can’t remember the last time Fernandes played a decent game.

“Even when he gives you the ball, he blames you. This is the type of player, Bruno Fernandes. He is the worst possible teammate.’
But Fernandes has now dismissed Agbonlahor’s comments as hearsay, claiming he does not care about the pundit’s opinion.
And instead, Fernandes prefers to hear the thoughts of his respected colleagues, such as former teammate Juan Mata.
Fernandes fired back: “It’s honestly not something that worries me too much. He’s never played with me, he doesn’t know how I am.
“Just yesterday I told my wife, who spoke to me in this interview and I said ‘you know what calms me down?’

“It’s just that two days ago a person called Juan Mata, world champion, European champion, winner of the Champions, all in England, said to me ‘you were the best people I’ve met in football, continue like that, being yourself, with that honesty, this ability to work’.
“If someone says that… you know how I am. Boring, because I demand it, but because I am demanding with myself and I also demand it from others.” More

And club icon Neville has now begged Ronaldo to stop “throwing his arms around” by helping United out as much as possible.
Neville reckons the Portuguese ace has nothing to lose, and stepping up should be his responsibility as the team’s best player.
Neville told Diary of a CEO podcast: “That’s where I am a little bit critical about Cristiano. 
“You’re the man, you’re the star. You’re the best player in the world. Come on. 
“Now’s not the time to be throwing your arms around. Now’s not the time to be walking off the pitch.
“Now’s the time to be leading those people, but he wants to leave. And that might happen and who can blame him?

“He wants to finish his career at a club that’s achieving great things. But I do think he’s the only player in that dressing room that could lead them. 
“He’s the only one with the in-built resilience and mental strength.” More

Former Red Devils director Knighton is keen to lead a group to replace current United owners, the Glazer family.
And his new comments come as reports claim the Americans are in talks to sell a minority stake.
The club’s share prices have already jumped 12 per cent since Knighton’s initial announcement last week.
And fans will be eager for a deal to go through after United’s dreadful start under new boss Erik ten Hag.

In a fresh statement on Wednesday, Knighton claims the Glazers have “damaged” United’s brand.
The 70-year-old, who almost bought the club in 1989, has grouped together three billionaires capable of putting pressure on United’s American owners.
But Knighton hopes to enlist mega-rich businessman Ratcliffe to take the consortium’s attempts to the next level.
Ratcliffe – worth a reported £10.5BILLION – already runs French giants OGC Nice.

And Ratcliffe could be eager for a shot at English football after falling short in his attempts to replace Roman Abramovich at Chelsea.
Knighton told ITV: “They’ve damaged the brand. This is not personal against the Glazers, they just always had the wrong model.
“[My consortium?] They are small-time billionaires that I have been speaking to for three to four months now.
“When I was approached by some fan groups, oddly enough, saying ‘look, our club is dying on its feet’ would you please do something?’
“I made a few phone calls and I’ve been pulling this consortium together ever since.
“We are not the great Sir Jim Ratcliffe. We do not have those resources. We are not some nation state sovereign fund who has oil revenue of two billion a day.
“The point is: someone had to make a stand.

“If we can smoke the great Sir Jim out to buy Manchester United my consortium will be punching the air because we’ve achieved what we want to do.
“We will make the bid with our own consortium but, I’ll tell you this, we do not have the resources available to do everything that is needed.” More

MANCHESTER UNITED chiefs reportedly told Erik ten Hag to keep expectations “realistic” for the new season.But the Dutchman instead talked UP United’s chances to boost player morale in his squad.

ESPN claims Ten Hag went against the wishes of higher-ups by telling his newly-inherited squad they can make a big impact this term.
United finished sixth last season after numerous underwhelming performances with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick at the helm.
The bulk of the squad still remains, with only three new players signed so far.
But despite Rangnick’s public criticism of United during his time at the club, Ten Hag has decided to go in the opposite direction.

Upon arriving at United, he felt morale was at rock-bottom.
Club chiefs then informed Ten Hag to keep expectations realistic while they set about making new signings.
But the former Ajax boss felt it was better to go in another direction.
And he instead heaped praise upon maligned players including midfield duo Scott McTominay and Fred.

That’s despite being personally aware that fresh faces were desperately needed ahead of the season opener against Brighton.
Ten Hag was then hit with a dose of reality when United crashed to a 2-1 home defeat against the Seagulls.
Since losing, they have been linked with Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic and Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot – much to the displeasure of fans.
United’s pursuit of Arnautovic has since been abandoned.
But it’s reckoned Rabiot was on Ten Hag’s radar before the Brighton defeat.
And initial contact was made with the Frenchman 24 hours before United’s Old Trafford humiliation.
Ten Hag now has a chance to shake things up for Saturday’s visit to Brentford.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Tyrell Malacia will all be pushing to start in a must-win game for United.

That’s because their third match sees them take on rivals Liverpool nine days later.
And Ten Hag knows he cannot afford to lose all three of his opening games. More

MANCHESTER UNITED’S incredible decline under the Glazers has been revealed through their staggeringly slow growth on the stock exchange.It comes amid reports of a “hostile” takeover attempt by former United director Michael Knighton, 17 years after the Glazers bought United for £790million.

Financial writer Kieran Maguire made the revelation a decade after the Glazers first listed United on the New York Stock Exchange.
The opening share price on that day was $14.
And incredibly, if a person had invested £1,000 in shares back then, today that money would be worth just £814.
The figure looks even bleaker against other sporting institutions, with a grand invested in Juventus now returning £2k.

With Formula One, you’d have £2,564 in your pocket.
And even American baseball team Atlanta Braves would have returned £1,585.
Maguire adds that the dip in value is a recent one, with share prices at $19.37 last September when United re-signed Cristiano Ronaldo.
But a forward-facing market combined with the team’s poor performances – and a desperate need to upgrade Old Trafford – has resulted in a sharp decline.

Elsewhere, total interest charged under the Glazer ownership is a staggering £855m.
That in itself would pay for another TEN Harry Maguire’s – the most expensive defender in world football at £80m.
Net debt is at £627m – more than the £590m in 2006.
And United’s transfer debt is also £184m – the highest it has been since 2008.
Meanwhile £154m in dividends has been taken by shareholders – mainly the Glazers – since 2016.
Income did soar from £159m in 2005 to £627m in 2019.
But that fell to £494m last year as United struggled for consistency on the pitch.

And there is a bleak outlook for unhappy supporters – who are planning an “Empty Old Trafford” protest for the August 22 game against Liverpool – as the Glazers own shares that carry a whopping TEN votes – compared to just one vote for regular investors.
