Man Utd news: Erik ten Hag warned he must set stall out early with Bruno Fernandes

Erik ten Hag has an enormous task on his hands to get Bruno Fernandes playing at an acceptable level for Manchester United, according to Tim Sherwood.

Fernandes, 27, has not lived up to his own lofty standards this season despite taking his tally to 10 Premier League goals in Monday night's 3-0 victory over Brentford. The Portuguese playmaker continues to be face criticism for allegedly 'going missing' in United's biggest fixtures and his work out of possession has also been scrutinised.

It marks a concerning decline for a player who hit the ground running in England following his £47million arrival from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. Former Blackburn Rovers captain Sherwood is the latest pundit to take aim at Fernandes, declaring "he ain't that good" and blasting his attitude while representing his club.
