Despite concerns over Bruno Fernandes' fitness after he was pictured wearing a protective boot following Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton, the midfielder was able to play the full 90 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Thursday.
United boss Erik ten Hag had admitted ahead of the game there was a question mark over Fernandes' availability, but he ultimately named him in the starting XI. And some Manchester United fans were quick to pick up on a comment made by Ten Hag when he was asked about Fernandes' selection.
"Of course he's ready," Ten Hag told MUTV. "It is Bruno Fernandes and he's tough. He takes responsibility, he wants to play and of course we're happy he's there because he's a massive player for us who has a big impact in every game. He's our captain, so we are really happy."
