'Fernandes has become a liability for Man Utd'

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has become a liability to the club following his latest red card, according to a former Liverpool star.

Fernandes was sent off for the third time this season after his red card in the Red Devils' disappointing defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day.

Former Reds star Graeme Souness believes the Portugal international does not set a good example for the players with his behaviour on the pitch.

"From his antics when the game is not going well to constantly throwing arms in the air, shrugging his shoulders at teammates - and he wears the armband," Souness said, as per Goal.

"You want your captain, your leader, to be setting an example for everyone in that dressing room, that is why you pick him as your captain because he leads by example.

"What example does he set for Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho, young players all making their way in the game?

"I think he has become a liability for Manchester United.

"He has undoubted talent and he will be thinking he should be playing for the very best teams out there but he is not and he is showing negativity which will be damaging to those around him - as with the sending-off against Wolves.".
