Roy Keane tears into Man United star Bruno Fernandes for Erik ten Hag sack apology

Roy Keane has described Bruno Fernandes' apology to Erik ten Hag as a matter of "too little, too late" following his departure from Manchester United. The Dutchman was relieved of his duties last Monday during his third season at Old Trafford - and a succession plan is in place.

Despite winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, his efforts fell short of propelling United back to the pinnacle of football. Ruben Amorim steps into the role as Ten Hag's successor, assuming responsibilities from next Monday.

Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy, the club's interim manager, held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. After that game, Fernandes expressed regret over his own performance during Ten Hag's time when speaking to Sky Sports.

As quoted by The Mirror, he said: "When you see a manager go you have to look at the mirror first. I spoke to Erik ten Hag and I told him I apologise and I feel disappointed I couldn't do more for him. We should've done better.

"I wasn't scoring goals and I felt responsibility as I'm normally a player with a lot of goals and assists. The main thing is he's aware of that. Every week is challenging, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. It's a different week because we know Erik is gone."

Discussing the broader impact of managerial exits, Fernandes added: "It's not good for anyone at the club when a manager goes because it means that the position where the team is isn't the best, the results are not the best. We are all disappointed by that, you always have to take a little bit of the blame on yourself."
