Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy says Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes should be dropped.

Fernandes drew a blank in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

Murphy cited the drop off in Fernandes' performances and suggested a period out of the team might be beneficial.

"It's a real concern for one of their most creative players (lack of goal involvements)," he said.

"I think when Eriksen comes back he [Erik Ten Hag] may have to take him out of the firing line for a little while and put Eriksen in [to] give him a little kick up the bottom to see if they can improve his numbers because every player needs that now and again."
