Antony and Bruno Fernandes clash as Crystal Palace dent Man United’s title notions

Antony was not happy with Fernandes

Manchester United duo Antony and Bruno Fernandes were seen clashing with each other in the first half of United's draw against Crystal Palace. Fernandes looked to have secured United the three points with a goal on the stroke of half time only for Michael Olise's stunning free kick in second half stoppage time ensured a share of the spoils. Wout Weghorst also made his debut for the club after they paid Beşiktaş to cancel his loan spell in Turkey and move to Old Trafford from Burnley until the end of the season, with United desperately in need of a striker The majority of the first half saw Erik ten Hag's side find it difficult to break down a resilient Palace defence with Antony in particular struggling to get the best of full back, Tyrick Mitchell. It seemed as if tempers began to flare amongst the United ranks on the half hour mark as Antony and Fernandes were caught exchanging verbals with each other, leading to many speculating on social media. https://twitter.com/__YOUYOU___/status/1615809473565626373?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1615809473565626373%7Ctwgr%5E4a73a55bc995d2292b6515968281b6e3ecbe5a5c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportbible.com%2Ffootball%2Fman-united-bruno-fernandes-antony-fan-reaction-887767-20230118 One person wrote: "Bruno Fernandes beefing with Antony, all this bollocks about how they’re now a United team not individuals is hilarious."
