Bruno Fernandes has been informed that his Manchester United teammates may have a problem with his on-field behavior.
Despite scoring twice in United's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, Fernandes has had a disappointing season by his lofty standards.
Former Red Devils defender Paul Parker feels the Portugal international's emotional outburst will irritate other members of the group.
On Talk of the Devils, Parker stated, "Fernandes is a concern for me."

"I'm sure there are players in that squad that don't like him and what he does on the pitch just by observing him and the way he betrays himself on the pitch."
"He gives everything too much attention." He makes a terrible tackle and then tells everyone to get up. He gets tackled and rolls around, as if to demonstrate that he has a nick on his sock or something."
Since his arrival in 2020, the 27-year-old has endeared himself to United supporters for his passion on the pitch and willingness to go to any length to win.
In the last two years, Fernandes' statistics show he has been one of the Premier League's most valuable players.
Parker believes that an incident involving Villa striker Ollie Watkins demonstrated the bad side of his game.

"Watkins tried to lift him up the other day," the Premier League winner continued. He's a wonderful young man with no hate in his heart.
"He thought he didn't do anything, so he tried to wake him up. He wasn't nasty to him, but he (Bruno) pushed his arms up into his face and was rude to him." All of this adds up."
Fernandes' brace at Villa Park brings his season total to seven goals, after scoring 27 and 28 goals in the previous two seasons.
According to reports, Fernandes and his agency recently rejected down a new contract, despite the fact that his existing contract does not expire until 2025.
United is believed to be unconcerned by the situation, but Parker isn't and has expressed his displeasure: "No one truly cared about him. He's been snatched up by United. I understand why other clubs haven't approached him; I believe there is something about him personally that has turned others off."
After the club finished second last season, Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Cristiano Ronaldo came in the offseason.
After a poor start to the season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired as manager in November, and Ralf Rangnick was named as an interim manager until the end of the season the following month.
United will play Brentford at home on Wednesday night.
