Erik ten Hag has labelled the questioning of Bruno Fernandes’ suitability to captain Manchester United as “crazy”.
Speaking after the win at Old Trafford, United boss Ten Hag sung the praises of his captain, saying: “He is so tough. A couple of weeks ago there were questions about his captaincy, which was crazy because he is such a big leader.
Ten Hag explained how Portugal international Fernandes is vital if such tactics are to succeed, adding: “You need players like Bruno to be successful because he can play in a deeper role with his passes.
“So even when our press gets beaten, he knows when to get back and then, of course, he can play between the lines and make passes. He has so many skills. It’s a pleasure to work with players like him.”
