MANCHESTER UNITED fans raged at Bruno Fernandes for a decision he made in the final moments of their 1-1 draw with FC Twente.
Erik ten Hag‘s side had to settle for a disappointing point in their Europa League opener at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Christian Eriksen‘s stunning opener was cancelled out by a second-half equaliser from Sam Lammers.
Yet Man Utd had a good set-piece opportunity when the clock ticked into the 95th minute.
With the minimum stoppage time up, Fernandes stood over a free-kick from around 35 yards out.
The Red Devils loaded the box with six players as they waited for the Portuguese playmaker to loft a ball into the penalty area.
Instead, the Man Utd captain chose the audacious option of shooting from distance and saw his tame effort float into the keeper’s arms.
The referee then blew his whistle for the end of the match.
Fernandes’ decision infuriated Man Utd supporters as they took to social media to vent their frustrations.
One said: “As for Bruno I have no words got his new contract been a mare since lol.”

Another added: “Why did he shoot?! ”
A third replied: “Definitely wasn’t part of the set piece instruction.”
While a fourth responded: “He thinks he’s [Cristiano] Ronaldo .”
Fernandes, who last month penned a new contract to keep him at Man Utd until 2027, is yet to score in eight games this season but has contributed four assists.
