The Red Devils have underwhelmed all season and tensions have reached a boiling point within the fanbase.
'You're not fit to wear the shirt' echoed from the AMEX Stadium away end as Leandro Trossard made it four and Fernandes was quizzed about it at full-time.
When asked if the assessment was fair, the Portugal international told Sky Sports: "I include myself on that. What we did today, what I did today, was not enough to be in the Manchester United shirt and I accept that."
Fernandes signed a new contract last month to take him up to £250,000-per-week and one of United's highest earners.

The 27-year-old has had a poor season by his own high standards, but is holding himself accountable in a tricky period.
It's something United fans think enough of their squad aren't doing and praised Fernandes on social media.
One commented: "This is proper accountability."
Another said: "Bruno is definitely one of the real ones."

Brighton then responded by scoring three goals in 11 minutes as Marc Cucurella fired home his first goal for the club.
Pascal Groß then showed his composure in the United penalty area to touch home a third before Trossard bundled home a fourth.
United did have the ball in the back of the net through Cavani, but the veteran forward was ruled offside.
