Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is not happy with the players of the team his side beat in midweek.

The Red Devils manager accused Nottingham Forest of targeting Bruno Fernandes in their clash at the City Ground on Wednesday.

United won the game 1-0 through a Casemiro header, with Fernandes grabbing the vital assist.

"You saw that Forest were targeting him," said Ten Hag post-game, indicating his star was playing through the pain barrier.

“There were many fouls on him. You see when he is getting the ball, they are really tight on him.

“I don't say what it is, but it was a serious injury. I see social media criticizing him. It is pathetic. He has a serious injury, he continued to play on Saturday and then also he fought to be part of this game.

“He has a very high pain threshold. Last year he did something similar against Spurs. It shows his leadership."
