Bruno Fernandes has accused Pep Guardiola of disrespecting him during Manchester United’s derby win.

The United midfielder was seen putting a finger to his mouth and telling Guardiola to be quiet in a shush gesture after a verbal exchange with the Manchester City manager in the final minutes of his side’s 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday.

And Fernandes - who has made an immediate impression on United fans following his impressive start in the wake of a £47 million move from Sporting Lisbon in January - has lifted the lift on the incident by admitting Guardiola’s apparent show of disrespect left him “mad”.

“I talked about [the incident] with some friends,” Fernandes said in an interview with Sky Sports. “Some people think like, ‘Pep won everything, who is Bruno to do this to him?’

“But I think it’s about respect. Now, outside of the pitch, calm, I don’t do this again if I’m on the pitch now.

“But at that moment, the words he told me made me mad and on the pitch I’m a little bit nervous. It’s the kind of player I am.

“I have respect for Pep and what he wins and what he did for football, because he changed some mentalities in football.

“But I think in that moment, he didn’t respect me, so he didn’t deserve my respect at that moment on the pitch.”
