Erik ten Hag disagrees with Paul Scholes after Man Utd legend's "problem" claim

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag appears to have solved the Bruno Fernandes issue that Paul Scholes claimed was a problem last season.

The Portugal international can often divide opinion as a result of his on-pitch conduct and tendency to make both officials and his team-mates well aware when he is frustrated with them. However, that was not what Scholes took issue with back in the second-half of last season.

What left the United legend frustrated was how often Fernandes seemed to veer away from the tactics and end up in different areas of the pitch where he wasn't able to influence as much as normal. Scholes lost patience with the United vice-captain following a 1-1 home draw against Southampton back when the Red Devils were under the reign of Ralf Rangnick.
