Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has broken his silence over Bruno Fernandes’s Manchester United captaincy after the Red Devils’ 4-1 win over Liverpool.
The Portuguese midfielder was handed the armband for the first time in the Premier League on Sunday, and he responded with a goal and an assist in the victory.
Ten Hag, who coached Fernandes during his time at Sporting Lisbon, was asked about the midfielder’s captaincy after the game and he revealed the reason why he was ‘pointing’ during the match.
“I think it’s great that Bruno is the captain of Manchester United,” Ten Hag said. “He is a leader and he has the qualities to be a captain. He is a great player and he has the respect of his teammates.
“I saw him pointing during the game and I think it’s because he wants to be a leader on the pitch. He wants to show his teammates the way and he wants to be an example for them. He is a great leader and I think he will do a great job as the captain of Manchester United.”
Fernandes has been a revelation since joining United from Sporting in January 2020, scoring 28 goals and providing 17 assists in all competitions.
