Alan Shearer has claimed that Bruno Fernandes has 'tarnished' his Manchester United legacy following his fallout with Michael Carrick over the last couple of weeks.

The Red Devils captain raised eyebrows when he questioned his manager's tactics after their side's 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League, and was subsequently left out of of the team for their later loss against Bournemouth.

He spoke out just a matter of days after Lisandro Martinez had questioned United's activity behind the scenes, and left his United future in doubt.

That's according to all-time Premier League leading scorer Shearer, who claimed Fernandes' previous success is now marred.

'Fernandes is going to have to go out and perform, which he hasn't done for large parts this season,' Shearer told Betfair. 'I know he's been Man United’s go-to player for a long time now, he's been their best player, but it's no way for the captain to behave.

'He owes the manager a performance, he owes the club a performance, and he owes the fans a performance.

He added: 'I think he has tarnished his legacy at the club. I think the reaction that you saw at the end of the game against Bournemouth last week was pretty telling whose side the fans are on and it's Michael Carrick's, not Bruno Fernandes’, despite what he's done for the club.

'Whether that was part of him speaking to the manager and thinking, woah, I have got this wrong here. I don't know.'
