Bruno Fernandes launched into an adrenaline-fuelled X-rated rant after Man United's stunning comeback win over Roma on Tuesday night. 

Having been at the centre of the storm surrounding the club's abysmal form and his undermining of manager Michael Carrick, Fernandes offered contrition for publicly criticising tactics but denied it was the reason he was dropped last week.

The club captain was benched by Carrick for United's 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth before being reintegrated against Chelsea and Roma, winning Man of the Match and scoring against the Italians. 

Amazon Prime presenter Gabby Logan was forced to apologise for Fernandes' bad language after he let the emotion pour out of him in the post-match interview.  

The stirring 3-2 comeback at Old Trafford on Tuesday night was the jumping off point for Fernandes to unburden himself, saying: 'We don't need to save anyone's job.

'The club needed that win. The players needed that win. It is something we needed as a group of players and staff.

'We have been working so hard to get out of this situation together. It has been tough. There has been a lot of speculation in the media. 

'A lot of lies around many things that have happened at this club, between me and the manager, like that we have cleared the air. Nothing like that happened.

'The manager took a decision of making myself on the bench because I wasn't performing. And that's fair.

'Everyone felt like that was a punishment for the words that I had [after Como]. And if it was, it was right.

'The manager makes the decisions. I have to accept it. I have to go forward with that. It doesn't change the belief I have in the manager, the staff and every player at this club.

'And it doesn't change my aim to win every f***ing game that I have ahead of me.'

Carrick was given a stay of execution by club bosses at United after losing against Bournemouth when he seemed destined to be sacked. 

Defeat at Chelsea appeared to push him closer to the exit door but Fernandes and Co fought back from 2-0 down on Tuesday night to give their boss and a beleaguered fanbase a much-needed lift.
