BRUNO FERNANDES was involved in a bust-up with former Everton star Derek Mountfield at half-time on Saturday, according to reports.
The Manchester United captain sparked his side’s comeback as he fired a free-kick past Jordan Pickford.
That came after his fallout with Mountfield over what appeared to be a bit of playful banter.
According to The Telegraph Mountfield jokingly mimed elbowing the United stars as they left the tunnel to re-enter the pitch after half-time.
But Fernandes took exception and exchanged some fiery words with the former defender, who was at Goodison being announced as an ‘Everton Giant’.
Fernandes’ half-time frustration was understandable as his team trailed 2-0 following a dreadful first-half performance.
Shambolic defending led to Beto‘s opener and the Red Devils were carved open again in the build-up to Abdoulaye Doucoure’s goal.
They offered nothing in attack and appeared to be drifting towards yet another defeat when Fernandes fired in from 25 yards.
Rio Ferdinand slammed United’s display, saying: “I’m sitting here and I don’t know if I have seen a United team this bad. It has been embarrassing in all different facets of the game.
“Yes, we can talk about quality, you talk about talent, but one thing which is unforgivable is a lack of desire.
“There’s instances in this game where Man Utd need to look at this Everton team and take examples from it. It’s embarrassing to sit here and watch it.
“We said they were going to have to come out and roll their sleeves up, because Everton would come out fighting.
“Man Utd haven’t done that. They’ve been pressed, they’ve been harried. They haven’t been able to deal with the press at all.
“They have chance after chance to clear the ball. Zero conviction, no-one taking over the situation.
“You’ve got to fight. You don’t come to Everton at this place, whatever form they’re in, and think you can roll them over easily. Man Utd have not understood that assignment from the first whistle.
“I hope [Amorim] went absolutely ballistic at the players. They were out-run, out-fought, out-jumped, every single department of the game. They were second best.”

SHE shot to fame in a 1995 coming-of-age comedy and has since starred in several TV shows and movies.
This famous actress, who is now 48 years of age, made her film debut in the thriller The Crush.
She then gained further prominence as a teen idol when she appeared in the music videos for Aerosmith’s songs Cryin’, Amazing and Crazy.
But it was her starring role as Clueless that really catapulted her to superstardom.
And now she has shared a throwback snap of herself as a child.
Looking oh-so cute as a tiny tot, the actress can be seen rocking a white dress and matching tights while spreading her arms out.
Smiling sweetly, the little girl had a full head of very blond hair.
Have you guessed who it is yet?
That’s it, it’s Alicia Silverstone who played the role of Cher Horowitz, a sweet but spoiled girl living in Beverly Hills in the hit rom-com Clueless.
Sharing the sweet snap on Instagram, Alicia penned: “I bet you can’t guess which little girl is me.”
And of course, fans were quick to guess which little girl was Alicia because of one giveaway feature.
“The little blond girl who has same smile as Cher in Clueless?” asked one person in the comment section.
Another person quipped: “The smile gives it away.”
“Pretty one right in front with that Cute Smile, I know that smile anywhere,” said a third.
A fourth then gushed: “The blond! Your smile is unique and unmistakable!”
“Omg .. blond, center stage, cutest ever grin,” said a fifth.
Since making her acting debut with the 1993 thriller The Crush, Alicia Silverstone has starred in over 70 films and TV shows. Here are her most memorable Hollywood performances:
Since shooting to fame in Clueless back in the 90s, Alicia’s career hasn’t slowed down.
Starring in several movies and TV series, Alicia has starred in the likes of Senior Year, Reptile, Valley Girl, Sister of the Groom, and The Requin.
Alicia married her longtime boyfriend, rock musician Christopher Jarecki, whom she met in 1997, in June 2005.
The couple welcomed a son in 2011 before separating seven years later in February 2018.
In May 2018, Alicia filed for divorce, with proceedings finalized in November 2018.
DISGRACED Stuart Hogg and his partner Leonna Mayor were spotted out with their new baby just weeks after the Scots rugby ace was convicted of abusing his estranged wife.
Horse racing presenter and pundit Leonna, 32, announced she was expecting the brute’s fifth child back in September 2024.
The pair welcomed their son Teddy John on February 12 at Polyclinique Saint-Roch in Montpellier, France, where Hogg now plays.
In a photo shared on social media, the 32-year-old shamed rugby star is seen posing alongside new mum Leonna as their newborn lies snug in a pram wrapped in blue blankets.
Leonna revealed the premature tot was born by an early caesarean at 37 and a half weeks after medics told her his growth was “slowing massively”.
Snaps posted to Instagram today show the little one clutching his parents’ fingers while donning a beanie embroidered with the words “I love my daddy.”
Other photos show the newborn nestled against his mother in the hospital.
Leonna captioned the post: “After his growth slowing massively at 36 and a half weeks, the fabulous doctor here in France scheduled an early caesarean at 37 and a half weeks.
“The baby was expected to be small but healthy which is exactly what we got.
“No complications and I couldn’t believe how quick the actual section itself was.
“The feeling when they are out and you see them for the first time and everything is okay is indescribable.
“A magical feeling.
“And now healing process is already well underway after only 11 days and Teddy is feeding every 2-3 hours and growing like a weed.”
Leonna’s followers flocked to the comments to react to the post.
One wrote: “He is beautiful! Congrats to the proud mama and daddy. He truly is a blessed to have two amazing parents. Sending love and positive vibes to you all!”
Another added: “Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos of your pregnancy and birthing experiences with us all Leonna”.
A third said: “Glad you are both doing well. Mumma baked a good bubba”.
It comes weeks after ex-Scotland rugby captain Hogg avoided jail over his shocking domestic abuse campaign against estranged wife Gillian.
He was given a year’s supervision by a sheriff and wasn’t fined or forced to attend a rehabilitation project for abusive men.
Hogg berated the mother of his four children Gillian for “not being fun” after going on booze binges with colleagues.
He had anger issues which left her scared and wishing “for it to be morning as soon as possible” when he would sober up.
And he bombarded her with more than 200 texts within a few hours despite being told to leave her alone.
Back in November 2023, Hogg went public with jockey Mayor just days after Gillian had given birth to their fourth child.
The timing stunned friends of the couple who said Gillian was devastated at how quickly he went public with his new partner.
Hogg played for Glasgow Warriors and Exeter Chiefs, won 100 caps for Scotland and made three tours with the British Lions.
But the disgraced rugby star is “set to be stripped” of his MBE following the campaign of abuse.
