The players’ and Erik ten Hag’s relationship appears to be becoming more problematic than anticipated, and it appears that a new problem may be involving those two players.

It is true that in the early going of the season, neither Bruno Fernandes nor Marcus Rashford had a great season for the Red Devils. However, what has happened is that Erik ten Hag’s decisions have given rise to a group of players who feel that the manager does have a few favorite players and treats them differently than the majority of the team.

The most difficult case has involved Marcus Rashford. Despite being one of the manager’s favorite players, he is always on the starting lineup and plays the majority of the game. However, there are some teams within the Manchester United team that feel that, given his current performances for the Red Devils, he would have been placed on the bench.

Conversely, some players in the locker room think that Bruno Fernandes is a good player who hasn’t been able to perform well with the Red Devils. However, the reality is that he isn’t a captain material, and those players think that Erik ten Hag chose him to be the captain because they currently don’t have a captain.

As a result, the player for the Red Devils now feels that his favorite players won’t have the same opportunities in every game this season because the manager will still start those players in the starting lineup even if they put up strong performances.

Role of Bruno Fernandes

The truth is that many players are dissatisfied with the manager and his choices for the United starting lineup because they believe that Bruno Fernandes is more focused on his game than on leading the squad.
