Man Utd boss Ten Hag ponders 'replacing' Fernandes

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says they can handle Bruno Fernandes' absence against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Fernandes picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in our 1-0 win against West Ham United last Sunday, meaning that he has to serve a one-match suspension in the Premier League.

“We know that we have to replace Bruno, that is quite clear," Ten Hag said, in his pre-match press conference for Sunday's game.

“We have to see how we replace him, and we have to think about that, and it is short so soon after this game [against Real Sociedad].

“I have one night to think about that."
