Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will eventually rue his decision to stick with Bruno Fernandes as his vice-captain.

That is the opinion of former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness.

The soon to be departing Sky Sports presenter believes that Fernandes is not a leader.

"Bruno Fernandes is obviously not a leader, it's as plain as the nose on the end of your face," he said in William Hill's Up Front With Simon Jordan.

"His attitude when they went 3-0 down at Liverpool was appalling. You certainly would not want to be in the trenches with him. When you become a captain of a football team it's about setting an example on the pitch and off it."

"In the case of Bruno, you'll see him be a star when you're on top of the opposition and on the front foot, and he can be a real talent, but he showed a side to him that day at Anfield which was very unattractive," the Scot added.

"Erik ten Hag has then chosen to overlook it because he knows going forward that Bruno will win him games and score goals. But he'll think, the next time he comes up against a really difficult situation, is he going to go missing? I think he already knows the answer to that."
