EPL: It’s dangerous – Erik ten Hag told to remove Fernandes as Man United captain

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, has been told he needs to remove Bruno Fernandes as the club’s captain.

Former manager and professional footballer, Alan Pardew, urged the Red Devils boss to remove the armband from Portuguese.

He reckoned the Portugal International is not capable of controlling his emotions.

He told talkSPORT, “You’ve got your skipper out there. You’ve got a technical skipper, when you’ve got a technician as a skipper, I think it’s always dangerous because they’re going to have off games.

“Even (Christian) Eriksen in his prime, (Michel) Platini in his prime, they’d have the off day. They were technical players.

“(Against Liverpool), it was never Fernandes because (United) never had the ball enough. Defensively, he’s not been called upon.”

“How can he lead the team? It’s a very difficult one for him. I actually think it would be better for him as a footballer to take it off him,” he added
