Bruno Fernandes did not ask to be substituted during Manchester United’s 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool, despite suggestions that the captain signalled to manager Erik ten Hag that he wanted to be withdrawn late in the match at Anfield.
It is understood Fernandes, who was criticised for his petulance in the second half as United suffered their heaviest defeat since 1931, merely wanted clarity on his role after Ten Hag made changes and brought off Marcus Rashford in the 85th minute.
