  • Neville called Fernandes a 'disgrace'
  • Midfielder has taken over as United captain
  • Set to snub interviews with club legend

WHAT HAPPENED? Fernandes will not acknowledge the former United full-back during pitch-side interviews in the coming campaign, The Sun reports.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The midfielder's anger towards Neville stems from the club legend's criticism last season. After United were thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool, the ex-England star branded Fernandes "embarrassing - a shambles" and called his behaviour a "disgrace".

AND WHAT'S MORE: Fernandes will be tasked with fielding more pitch-side interviews in the coming season after replacing Harry Maguire as the club's captain. The Portugal star donned the captain's armband a lot last season as Maguire was left on the bench, but he is now the team's permanent skipper.

WHAT NEXT FOR FERNANDES? Before the Portugal star will have to come face-to-face with Neville, his side will continue their pre-season tour of the United States. They will face Wrexham in the next stage of the tour on Wednesday before games against Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
