Bruno Fernandes furiously lashes out at late lunge from Brighton's Joel Veltman and says it 'almost broke' his ankle - with Manchester United talisman claiming to have missed Marcus Rashford's goal while in agony

An infuriated Bruno Fernandes has claimed a late tackle from Joel Veltman in Manchester United's win over Brighton 'almost broke' his ankle.

The United talisman was left prostrate on the turf after being clattered into by the defender - and looked visibly in pain as Marcus Rashford stroked home the leveller.

Both Edinson Cavani and Fernandes loudly voiced their anger to referee Mike Dean, but the latter was able to pick himself up and play a key role in the hosts' victory.
