Manchester United‘s manager, Erik ten Hag, has decided not to stripBruno Fernandes of the team captaincy despite calls for him to be removed from the role.
Fernandes has been the captain for most of the season, and ten Hag believes he is the right man to lead the team.
However, some of the players are reportedly unhappy with Fernandes’ behavior on the pitch and do not see him as the best long-term fit for the role.
Nevertheless, Erik ten Hag has faith in Fernandes and believes he has enough credit in the bank with him to continue as the captain.
But the Portuguese midfielder displayed very little of the leadership skills that got him the armband against Liverpool on Sunday.
Fernandes pushed the assistant referee, held his face after being caught in the chest by Ibrahima Konate and gestured to come off the field after Liverpool scored their sixth.
