Man Utd boss Ten Hag demands Fulham apology

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has called on Fulham to apologise for mocking Bruno Fernandes on social media.

The Cottagers have taunted Fernandes for feigning injury in games.

"It is not right. Totally out of order and wrong. They should apologise for this," said United manager Ten Hag.

"I thought it was definitely a foul on Saturday. It was misjudged from media, social media, to blame him for it. Referees should protect him.

"He's a very passionate football player. A very creative football player. He's created the most in the Premier League.

"Opponents are targeting him, especially after Saturday. I feel referees should protect him. They had a chance from the start of the game, it was so obvious."
