Marcus Rashford makes feelings clear after Man Utd make Bruno Fernandes captaincy call

Marcus Rashford has labelled Bruno Fernandes a "good leader" after Erik ten Hag refused to strip the playmaker of the vice-captaincy.

Ten Hag has faced calls to punish Fernandes, 28, after Manchester United suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last Sunday. The Portugal international's body language and overall performance was heavily criticised in the wake of the loss.
