Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes offered his thanks to Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman was sacked by the Old Trafford club on Monday in a move several former players and pundits said had long been coming.
Ten Hag’s credit ran out after Sunday’s controversial 2-1 Premier League loss to West Ham – their fourth defeat of the season – left United 14th in the table, with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking interim charge of the club.
