Micah Richards has branded Bruno Fernandes 'pathetic' after highlighting the Manchester United captain's outburst towards Facundo Pellistri during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
Fernandes endured a tough afternoon in north London as his side were well beaten by Spurs. The Portugal international missed a sitter in the first-half and looked some way off his elegant best in a midfield that was overrun by the home side.
Having been named as permanent club captain this summer, following the removal of Harry Maguire from the role, Fernandes will be expected to lead by example. But the 28-year-old's perceived petulance has been called into question on multiple occasions.

On Saturday, he was spotted criticising Pellistri after a United attack broke down, and Richards believes his attitude is affecting the younger players.
"It's getting embarrassing now," Richards told The Rest Is Football podcast. "The young lad Pellistri comes on, Fernandes is trying to get his team playing and I totally understand he's frustrated.
"Pellistri made a run, Fernandes didn't see him and [so] he made a different run but because he wasn't where [Fernandes] wanted him to be, he's going off at Pellistri.
"It's every time. I saw an interview with him the other day and he said he needs to be emotional when he performs because it makes him play better.
"But I feel like his body language on the pitch is disturbing the rest of the team and it's just not a good look at all. It's pathetic at times."
