Matic mocks Bruno Fernandes over Ronaldo’s disallowed goal

Premier League

Nemanja Matic left a cheeky present for Bruno Fernandes on his return to Manchester United as he teased him over Cristiano Ronaldo’s disallowed goal.

Premier League

Cristiano Ronaldo says he will ‘never change’ after leaving the pitch before the full-time whistle had been blown after seeing what appeared to be a goal ruled out in Portugal’s 2-2 draw with Serbia.
