Erik Ten Hag Told To Remove Fernandes As Manchester United Captain

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has been advised to strip Bruno Fernandes of his captaincy.

Alan Pardew, a former manager and professional footballer, suggested that the Portuguese player struggles to manage his emotions effectively.

He expressed his views on talkSPORT, stating, “When you have a technical player as your captain, it can be risky because they are prone to having off days. Even top players like Christian Eriksen and Michel Platini experienced this during their careers.

In the match against Liverpool, Fernandes wasn’t able to lead because United didn’t have possession, and he wasn’t required defensively.

It’s challenging for him to take on that leadership role. I believe it would actually benefit him as a player if he were to lose the captaincy.”
