Manchester United manager Rick Ten Hag has reportedly criticized Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandez after his team lost 4-0 to Brentford last week.

According to The Sun, Ten Hag punished the players by forcing them to run 13.8 kilometers in 30-degree heat less than a day after the defeat. The former Ajax manager also forced his players to watch videos of rival teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Ten Hag also warned the first team that no one can give up and specifically criticized Fernandes for his lackluster start to the season. In the above report, the source said:
“After the Brentford game, Ten Hag was especially critical of Bruno. Everyone thinks he is making it clear to Bruno, Maguire and Ronaldo that they are not guaranteed a starting point, regardless of their position in the team.”
The source continued:

“He accused the players of being out of shape. Ten Hag told the players he would take the blame for not being fit enough but criticized them for not being hungry enough.”

In an interview with Record, Fernandez said, “It’s a sad dressing room, a little sad about the results. After the pre-season, we had high expectations. The locker room knows this is not what it should be. better. Who was made.”
