Thierry Henry claims Bruno Fernandes 'killed' Man Utd team-mate in Aston Villa win & coins new…

"He wanted the ball [off Amad Diallo], he wanted the ball," Henry added. "He gets the ball after but he’s flat-footed by that point. He wanted the ball from Amad Diallo, not Manuel Ugarte, and I wanted to show that because this is at 3-1 with just a few minutes to go.

"He killed Amad Diallo for at least seven seconds! That’s just him, he will argue with his Dad or with anyone but he still finds a way.
