Erik Ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, returned to the case of Bruno Fernandes accused of simulation.
Bruno Fernandes has ringing ears. Since his match against Fulham (1-2) last Saturday in the Premier League, the Manchester United playmaker has been the target of criticism on social networks. He is accused of faking an injury.
Coach Erik Ten Hag defended the Portuguese. He said that Fernandes was suffering from a “serious injury” and that he had been the victim of numerous fouls by Nottingham Forest players (1-0) this Wednesday in the FA Cup.
Ten Hag blames the media
“I don’t want to dwell on the subject because you saw that Forest was targeting him, so I’m not going to say what he has, but it’s a serious injury,” Ten Hag said. There were a lot of fouls on him. Maybe I’m a little too harsh, but when he had the ball, they were really tight on him. »
“Then I also saw the criticism from serious media and the ridicule from social networks. It is not possible. He suffers from a serious injury, but continued to play on Saturday and Wednesday, he also fought to participate in the match and has a very high pain tolerance threshold,” said the MU coach in front of the journalists.
