Bruno Fernandes reaches out to Pedro Neto after fuming at Alejandro Garnacho

Bruno Fernandes has sent a cheeky message to Chelsea's Pedro Neto following his on-pitch clash with former Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winer was substituted at half-time during Chelsea's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, which saw manager Ange Postecoglou sacked just minutes after the final whistle.

Despite the drama, all eyes were on Garnacho at Old Trafford. The ex-United star celebrated with his Chelsea team-mates after the match, but it wasn't smooth sailing for him at the City Ground. After a heated exchange with Neto, picked up by TV cameras, he was replaced by Enzo Maresca as part of a triple substitution at half-time. This move ultimately led Chelsea to victory, but it was a difficult moment for Garnacho.

Now, Fernandes has reached out to his Portugal team-mate Neto on social media. In a four-word comment, the United captain wrote: "Chuta que chutas bem."

Translated from Portuguese, this means: "Kick you kick good."

His playful response to Neto's post included a heart eyes emoji.

Neto was instrumental in Chelsea's 3-0 triumph over Forest on Saturday, scoring a free-kick and setting up Josh Acheampong for the first goal.

Reece James sealed the victory in the final moments, earning Chelsea three points and leading to the dismissal of Postecoglou shortly after the final whistle at the City Ground.

TNT Sports pundit Peter Crouch commented on the Neto and Garnacho incident, stating: "Chelsea were a bit sloppy. Credit to Enzo [Maresca] for making those changes.

"I know Neto was really frustrated with him. He was crossing the ball and not getting on the other side. Neto was really frustrated with him."

Following the match, Garnacho took to social media. On Instagram, he posted: "Happy for these three important points!" along with blue and white heart emojis on his stories.
