'You are here to play football!': Fernandes fumes at Fred and Telles

star was caught telling his team-mates Fred and Alex Telles to ‘stop being such ballers’ in an expletive-filled rant at their lack of professionalism.

The Brazilian duo were filming outside of United’s Carrington training ground when the Portuguese international calls over to them and tells them to stop filming and start training.

The encounter was captured as part of Telles’ ‘A day in the life’ video with Brazilian football marketing agency O Clube Football, with the footage appearing on social media this week.

'You're here to play football, NOT film it!' said Fernandes from inside the changing room area

Fred and Telles were not impressed by their team-mate and told him to 'chill out'

Fernandes insisted the pair ‘stop being such ballers’ before the Brazilians told him to ‘chill out’ 

In the footage, United’s Brazilian duo are stood outside Carrington when Fernandes spots his team-mates from afar and calls out: ‘Stop being such ‘ballers’!’

The Portuguese international then says: ‘You are here to play football, not film it!’

Before telling the camera crew to: ‘Film my d**k.’

Fred and Telles, who are seemingly bemused by Fernandes’ aggression, webcluetech tell the midfielder: ‘Chill out you f****r!’

Despite the use of expletives, the exchange is presumably banter between team-mates, but that hasn’t stopped fans online from lauding the ‘captain mentality’ shown by the Portuguese midfielder.

One fan claimed: ‘Need more of this mentality. Enough Lingards and Pogbas. Need more Vidic and Keane mentality in the dressing room.’

‘That character was shown by Roy Keane. He deserves to be the next #MUFC captain,’ another user wrote.

Fernandes could well be the next United captain, given the possibility that Harry Maguire could be relieved of the armband this season. 

As  this week, United will keep the England international centre-back but he could well be stripped of the responsibility of leading the side.

It comes after a distinctly shaky 2021-22 season in which Maguire’s leadership and defensive qualities were repeatedly called into question.

It is unclear exactly when this footage was filmed but allegations of sloppy standards and unprofessionalism have plagued the United dressing room in recent seasons.

New manager Erik ten Hag is already putting his stamp on the club and will not take kindly to seeing squad members filming social content outside the club’s training ground.

Telles signed for United for £15million in 2020. He made 26 appearances in all competitions last season but is not thought to be Ten Hag’s long-term solution at left back.

Fred, meanwhile, has been at Old Trafford since joining for £52m in 2018. Ten Hag has not hidden the fact he wants to overhaul the midfield this summer, leaving Fred’s game time in doubt.
