A former Premier League star has criticised Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, comparing his on-field behaviour to that of a "diva".
The Portuguese midfielder has scored 79 goals and offered 67 assists in the 237 appearances he has made for the Red Devils thus far, and has started all of his side's Premier League encounters so far this season.

He has become an integral member of Erik ten Hag's side, making 48 appearances across all competitions during the 2023/24 campaign.
The 30-year-old missed just three league games, with one being due to a yellow card suspension and missing out on the other two because of a knee injury.
While his output and his availability has been praised, some have questioned his antics off the ball.
Former Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona star Emmanuel Petit is among those who have criticised his behaviour, adding that he does not behave in a way that a captain should.
"I think he's a good player but I think he's a diva," he said per talkSPORT.
"He acts like a diva sometimes, not like a captain – he wears the armband but if I'm honest with you, if I'm a teammate in the dressing room and you see the way he's behaving sometimes on the pitch with his arms all the time complaining, you don't want that from your captain.
"You don't want that from your teammate and you don't expect that from your leaders.
"I was very impressed during COVID-19 without fans in the ground because he was amazing game after game but he signed a new contract and I saw him with Portugal as well and sometimes I get annoyed when I watch him on TV.
"I just want to get into the TV and just play in front of him as an opponent to shake him on the pitch."
