The Spaniard seemed to be alluding to Keane's belief that Fernandes ought to be relieved of his captaincy.

After United's 3-0 defeat to rivals Manchester City last weekend, former captain Keane made that assertion.

Ever since United's season began with such turmoil, many have wondered what the future holds for ten Hag.

On the other hand, United's victory over Fulham was a positive step for Erik Ten Hag’s side who are looking to revive their season.

Fernandes has scored 66 goals in 199 games for Man United since joining the team in January 2020.
