BRUNO FERNANDES snapped back at Aston Villa fans after being targeted by X-rated abuse.
The Manchester United star lined up in his side’s 2-1 defeat at Villa Park on Sunday.
But Fernandes did not see out the whole match after picking up a worrying injury before half-time.
The Red Devils captain was taken off at the break by Ruben Amorim.
And he returned for the second half wearing a large purple coat to protect him from the cold.
However, Fernandes was pelted with abuse from Villa fans sat behind the United dugout.
Several X-rated insults were hurled at the Portuguese star.
But Fernandes took them in his stride as he responded with a cheeky comment.
The playmaker had a smile on his face as he stood and faced the crowd behind.
Looking at one irate home supporter in particular, Fernandes silenced the boo boys with a withering put down.

He said: “You sing more for me than for your team.
“Don’t be angry because I always score against you.”
United supporters were delighted with Fernandes’ response.
One said: “My f*****g captain.”
Another declared: “I rate the banter.”
One noted: “Love that.”
Another added: “He is a menace.”
Fernandes now faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of his injury.
But manager Amorim is already fearing the worst for his star player.
The gaffer said: “I think it’s a soft tissue. He’s going to lose some games, I don’t know for sure. Let’s see.
“He is a guy that is always fit, so we can recover quite well. But I don’t know.”
