Bruno Fernandes and Erik ten Hag's stance on Roy Keane's Manchester United captaincy criticism

Bruno Fernandes's captaincy has been thrown back under the spotlight following Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to bitter rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

Erling Haaland scored a spot-kick in the first half before netting an unmarked header shortly after the interval to put City firmly in control of the tie.

The Norwegian then played in Phil Foden to wrap up victory, yet City’s dominance was far greater than the scoreline suggested.

In the inevitable inquest following the defeat, United legend Roy Keane called for Fernandes to be stripped of the captain's armband after being left unimpressed with his second-half antics.
