Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has responded to claims that he was taking a shot at Cristiano Ronaldo with his post-match comments.
Fernandes was on target as the Red Devils rallied from behind to defeat Manchester City 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
The Portuguese midfielder praised the collective effort after the game when he told BT Sport, "[We] used to be individuals, now we are a team. You can see a proper team that works for each other."

Certain parts of the English media took that as Fernandes taking a dig at Ronaldo, who left the club after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan just before the FIFA World Cup.
"Thanks for someone to post exactly the words I Said!," Fernandes said on Instagram.
"I know that is difficult to see Manchester United doing well, [but I] don't have anything to [say] about us on the news apart good things,' he said in a story posted on Saturday.
"Don't use my name to attack Cristiano. Cristiano was part of our team for half the season and as I said in many interviews, everyone since Liverpool is being amazing and acting like a proper team and you can see the results. We carry on!"
