Bruno Fernandes has dismissed Erik ten Hag’s concerns by insisting that tiredness won’t be a problem for Manchester United in the final few games of the season.
United have suffered 1-0 defeats against Brighton and West Ham in their past two matches to allow Liverpool within one point of them in fourth place in the Premier League. Ten Hag’s side are the only team to have played midweek football every week since returning from the World Cup break and there are concerns they are fizzling out.
Ten Hag has privately expressed concerns that the huge workload which has come from winning the Carabao Cup final, reaching the FA Cup final and the quarter-finals of the Europa League, could prove costly at the business end of the campaign.
