Erik ten Hag has outlined how Bruno Fernandes leads the Manchester United squad "by example" after the playmaker thanked fans for voting him as player of the month for March.
The midfielder narrowly came out on top with 40 per cent of the vote, just edging Marcus Rashford’s 39 per cent. Fernandes, who has missed just two matches all season, scored three times and assisted two more across March.
The 28-year-old is United’s on-field captain as Harry Maguire continues to be left out of Ten Hag's team and supporters have appreciated his leadership during a month that started with a 7-0 defeat to Liverpool and ended with a 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham.
