Fernandes's reaction to Ten Hag is the mentality of player Man United must sign

Erik ten Hag has had to contend with one Manchester United player expressing "no respect" for him and another accusing him of lying.

None of us in the press box construed Fernandes's gesture as insubordination at the time. Then Fernandes scored both of United's goals and hit the crossbar. He was the only player who reached a performance level that would be deemed acceptable.READ MORE: Some United players' futures are now more certain

"The way I am is I am a person who is vocal on the pitch, sometimes you can over the line," Fernandes told this correspondent last season. "But I think everyone in the dressing room knows this is the way I am, the way I try to push everyone and try to push also myself. "But even knowing that if I feel at any moment I need to push someone and I need to call someone for a reason then I will do it."

Rewatch that strike and admire the deliberate precision and slightly underhit technique from a square pass Fernandes is slightly stretching for. The ball seems bound for the middle of the goal but curves into the corner, putting it well beyond Caoimhin Kelleher's reach.
