Manchester, Aug 25

Gary Neville believes Manchester United skipper let his penalty miss against Fulham negatively impact him, as the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

Fernandes skied his penalty, which was won by Mason Mount, and was unable to open the scoring at Craven Cottage. An own goal saw the visitors go ahead before Emile Smith Rowe equalised.

"I think he let it impact him. I thought he let it get to him. When he came out for the second half, he was still talking to the referee.

"I know that can happen, but I think you can see in his face sometimes with Bruno that he wears his heart on his sleeve and it was quite clear that obviously he's desperately disappointed about missing the penalty in the way in which he did.

"Sometimes, if a goalkeeper saves it you might think, 'OK, that happened', but he's smashed it over the bar, and then there was this idea that the referee disrupted his rhythm," said Neville on 'The Gary Neville Podcast.
