As I’ve always said, I don’t want to be a player the club doesn’t want to have. If for some reason the club doesn’t want me, I will go.”
Ten Hag was asked about the comments. “No, absolutely the club wants to keep Bruno,” he said. The manager was pressed as to why Fernandes appeared to think United were ambivalent about their desire to keep him. “Maybe I should see the interview [it’s] your interpretation but everything i know from him he loves Manchester United, Manchester United fans and to play for Manchester United. He always gives his best and is an example, even with [his] injuries,” he said.
“Bruno loves football and wants to win. That’s how I would describe his character. I am very pleased with his performance. It’s not easy when so many players are injured around him and he has to carry the team. It maintains a good and even high level, especially in the spring when it grows to a brilliant level.”
