Erik ten Hag has praised Bruno Fernandes for his energetic captaincy and said the Portuguese is Manchester United’s coach on the pitch.
Manager Ten Hag faced calls to strip Fernandes of the armband after United’s 7-0 defeat to Liverpool, when the midfielder lost his cool and pushed the assistant referee, but instead kept him as skipper, when Harry Maguire is not playing, and was delighted with his response in the 4-1 win over Real Betis.
