It came during the 7-0 trouncing United received at Anfield when Neville wrongly claimed the Portuguese midfielder was asking to come off as his team crumbled around him.

The 1999 Treble winner also accused Fernandes of feigning injuries during the game.

Neville, 48, said: “The second-half has been an absolute disgrace, a shambles.

“They have not been epitomised more than Bruno Fernandes, who has been embarrassing – a shambles – in this game.

“Bruno Fernandes is stood in the centre circle with his arms raised saying ‘Why isn’t it me coming off?’ Honestly.

“I think some of his behaviour in the second half has been a disgrace.”

The humiliating Anfield hammering in March last year hurt Fernandes — and so did the criticism.

It has since emerged during the club’s tour of the United States that the Portuguese midfielder, 28, has not forgotten it.

To the point where he is unlikely to engage in any engagement with Neville pitch side next season, despite his new position as captain.
