Erik ten Hag responds to Roy Keane, defends Bruno Fernandes

" I don't understand why there is such a mindset because everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect. Bruno is doing a very good job as captain. He always tries to set an example for others. Today, we saw how hard he works, always tries to put pressure and finally scores. Bruno is extremely important for the team, " said Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman was unhappy with Roy Keane's comments about Bruno Fernandes. After last week's defeat to Man City, the Man Utd legend said Erik ten Hag should strip the Portuguese of his captaincy.

" After what Bruno showed, if I were ten Hag I would take the captain's armband from him. I think Bruno is a talented player, but what I saw was him moaning, constantly raising his hands in the air, that's unacceptable, " Roy Keane said on Sky Sports.

Bruno scored to help Man Utd beat Fulham.

Man Utd won a dramatic 1-0 victory at Fulham. The Red Devils opened the scoring early in the first half through Scott McTominay. However, the referee disallowed the goal due to Maguire's offside.

In the remaining time, the away team played unimpressively. Andre Onana's goal was constantly on the alert, but Fulham's strikers were not sharp. In the 90+1 minute, Bruno Fernandes shone, helping Man Utd win 3 hard-won points.

" We scored early in the game but it was disallowed. The goal at the end was a great moment because we did it away from home, " said the Man Utd manager.

Meanwhile, Bruno explained: " Everyone knows the situation is not the best. The team's recent performances have not been good and neither have the results. However, today was a different game. We had to show something different and we did it ."

With this victory, Man Utd ranked eighth in the Premier League table, with 18 points. They are 9 points behind the leading team Man City.
