Bruno Fernandes has claimed Manchester United's players will not reveal what they're thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo returned to the dressing room at Old Trafford early on Wednesday night and he refused to come on the pitch, which forced Erik ten Hag to make him train on his own at Carrington, while he was also omitted from the squad to play Chelsea.
Although United were without Ronaldo at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, they looked the better side in the first half and they were disappointed to concede in the 86th minute after Scott McTominay gave a penalty away at a corner.

Chelsea looked set to win the three points, but Casemiro scored a dramatic equaliser in stoppage time to rescue a point. Fernandes reflected on the performance after the final whistle and he also addressed the absence of Ronaldo.
"I think the first half was very good for us, obviously after the tactical change with Cucurella coming out and Kovacic coming in, we had some problems in the middle but we found our positions and we had our chances," Fernandes told Sky Sports.
"We could be 2-0 up. In the second half, they get the goal from the penalty, but the belief was there, we kept fighting, the spirit was amazing and that's why we get a point. It's not what we wanted but it's a good point.
"I think the best chances we had we could have scored. We missed, it doesn't matter, we go on and we keep working. The most important thing for me was the reaction after the 1-0, the belief that exists, the togetherness is amazing.
"I had no view [foul for penalty] because I was in front. It's difficult to talk about, but what I said to the referee was, this kind of contact happens in the Premier League every game. If we whistle this kind of penalty, it's difficult.
"But I didn't see it, so I can't say if it's right or not. We don't talk about that [Ronaldo], we keep it quiet inside, we have to deal with that inside and no one else has to know what we think what we want or what will happen.
"We don't know, so the most important thing for everyone, including Cristiano, is that the team wins."
