EPL: Fernandes finally responds to Ronaldo interview with Morgan, handshake incident in Portugal dressing room

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has given a coy response to his teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

Fernandes also spoke about the recent viral handshake incident between him and Ronaldo in the Portugal dressing room.

Ronaldo recently spoke to Morgan Uncensored and hit out at Man United, the Glazer family, their manager, Erik ten Hag, former teammates Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, among others this week.

Asked about the handshake incident as well as Ronaldo's remarks, Fernandes told Sky Sports: "I haven't read the interview.

"As I said before, now it's the national team. It's Portugal. The coach pointed out that it was us. He made that point when I arrived in the national team in 2017.

"It's always clear. In his mind, the main thing is the national team. We have to focus on the World Cup.

"Cristiano [Ronaldo] has played very well, playing in five World Cups - it will be his fifth time. Everyone is ready for that and everyone wants the best for the team."

On the handshake, he added, "I was watching one of the channels that said it was cold and bad.

"They did a commercial break, the national team sent them footage with sound, and the sound revealed that he was joking with me."
