decisive face-off against RB Leipzig, which they lost 3-2 later on, dispatching them to another Europa League adventure. 

Raiola, who has always glided his player's despondency in the media, did so once more, uncovering that he accepted the 27-year-old is done with playing for the club.

"I was shocked and I can't believe something like this happened because this game was so important for United. 

"I’m not speaking as a fan, I’m speaking about Manchester United in general, you think that it’s a big game, going into the last 16. You need that focus, but the focus was on one player.

"I can’t understand how these things can happen. This is absolutely against the interests of the club.

"Bruno Fernandes is up there with De Bruyne in terms of status," he added. "You look at every game and he has had an impact.

"In terms of leadership, he’s the only one at the club that has shown leadership and helped lift the whole club. He has that kind of attitude and emotion to actually put people under pressure. 

"He has been at the club one year, but it seems like he has been at the club 10 years, it’s amazing."
