Few players emerged from Manchester United's chastening 7-0 defeat against Liverpool unscathed, but Bruno Fernandes has been taking the bulk of the criticism in the wake of Sunday's dismal drubbing.
The Portuguese playmaker, who once again captained Manchester United in the absence of Harry Maguire, cut a frustrated figure at Anfield and has been blasted by fans and pundits alike for his negative body language.
The 28-year-old's role as vice-captain has since come under pressure with many people adamant that Fernandes should no longer wear the armband as a result of his petulant behaviour at Anfield. Mirror Football understands that, despite calls for Erik ten Hag to do so and the heavy criticism he has faced in the aftermath of Sunday's result, Fernandes will remain as the club's vice-captain for the foreseeable future.
