Manchester United captain made his frustrations with his team-mates clear during the first half of Sunday's Manchester Derby. saw several of promising situations spoiled by poor decision-making, much to the annoyance of the Portuguese.
First, he took aim at Alejandro Garnacho after feeling the Argentine didn't play a pass quickly enough as United looked to get something going. Moments later, Patrick Dorgu was the target of Fernandes' annoyance.
Former United skipper was on commentary duty for the game. He suggested Dorgu had no excuse for straying offside, while also siding with United's number eight over the Garnacho clash.
"Bruno is having a go at Garnacho and he is right," Neville said during ' coverage. "The pass is too slow and it's behind Fernandes."
Elsewhere in the first half, the often demonstrative Fernandes was seen remonstrating at United striker Rasmus Hojlund for his movement as the home side probed for an opener.

The two teams went in level at the break, with Fernandes himself testing Ederson in the City goal, and neither team managed to find a breakthrough in the second half either. It was a relatively subdued affair, all told, with the visitors visibly missing their top scorer .
Injured striker Haaland is unlikely to play again in the league this season. Omar Marmoush led the line in his absence but neither the Egyptian or his supporting cast managed to get much going.
The closest either team came to scoring was in United's first proper attack. Garnacho was brought down by Ruben Dias, but the offence was committed just outside the penalty area and Fernandes failed to take advantage from the ensuing free-kick.
Kevin De Bruyne was playing his final Manchester Derby, having confirmed earlier in the week that he would be leaving City in the summer. Ahead of the game, former England midfielder Leon Osman pointed to the Belgian's ability to do it all himself over the years.
"You may feel like you've done everything you can and played well and then you give Kevin de Bruyne half a yard and he's stolen the game from you," Osman said on Radio 5 Live. "He's done that singlehandedly at times.
"Yes he's had an amazing array of players around him at but he is the player that provides that spark. He does stuff that not everyone else is capable of."
