Erik ten Hag has confirmed Bruno Fernandes will remain Manchester United's vice-captain despite calls for the Portuguese midfielder to be removed of this responsibility.
Fernandes skippered United during Sunday's 7-0 hammering at Anfield in the absence of club captain Harry Maguire, who has lost his place in the starting eleven to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane after a series of shaky defensive performances.
The Portugal international struggled to lead by example against Liverpool, however, and was criticised after the game for antics Gary Neville labelled 'embarrassing'. Repeatedly throwing his arms up in the air in frustration, going to ground holding his face after being brushed in the chest by Ibrahima Konate and refusing to track back were the main features of an induvial display that did little to help the collective.
