Erik ten Hag was right to keep Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United's captain after the seven-goal humiliation at Liverpool.
The last thing United need is to unsettle a key player who has provided eight goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season. It would have been the easy option for Ten Hag to throw Fernandes under the bus following the second-half capitulation at Anfield, but it would have created far more problems than it would have solved.
Players respect a manager who shows loyalty in adversity, and Bruno is not the first captain who has thrown his arms in the air, pointed fingers or lapsed into negative body language.
