Dimitar Berbatov says it would be “disrespectful” to remove Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United captain, suggesting that it would only add fuel to the fire at Old Trafford.
The former Reds striker, though, says the midfielder does “need to work on” his on-pitch behaviour, something former United skipper Roy Keane criticised following the club’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
Some have questioned Erik ten Hag’s decision, pointing to Fernandes' in-game gesticulations when United are on the back foot. Berbatov sympathised with the 29-year-old, suggesting his frustrations are only on show because of the team’s poor performances albeit admits the player must take better control of his emotions.
