Erik ten Hag hints he may ignore Paul Scholes' calls to never repeat Man Utd tactic

Erik ten Hag has hinted that he could deploy Bruno Fernandes on the wing again when Manchester United travel to Real Betis for the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie.

The Dutchman has used Fernandes, who is primarily a central midfielder, in a wide position in recent weeks as part of a fluid front three. And while the 28-year-old has played well in the unfamiliar role, he was excellent after being restored to his usual No.10 position during United's thumping 4-1 win over Betis last week.

However, the Portuguese playmaker could be forced back into a wide position with Antony and Alejandro Garnacho both unavailable for Thursday night's match.
