Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has again declared his support for Bruno Fernandes.

While some pundits have been critical of the midfielder, Ten Hag admits he's grateful to count on the midfielder.

He explained: "He is fantastic. He has [had] a fantastic season so far and firstly he is an example.

“He gives so much energy to the team, but he is taking so much responsibility and pushing the team, but often by example.

“Not only by coaching, by example and he is so good in transitional moments. Of course, in the final third, he is continually a threat," Ten Hag continues.

“In possession, he is always available to receive the ball. He is always an option and almost every time, he has the right solution.

“I am so happy with Bruno in my team, and I think he's made a massive improvement during the season, and I hope he can continue this."
