Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag explain his on verdict on the heated quarrel between Bruno Fernandes and Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth

At the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, Bruno Fernandes got into a heated argument with Andre Onana, who plays for Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandes was seen getting angry with teammate Andre Onana during Manchester United’s disappointing draw with Bournemouth. However, the boss, Erik ten Hag, has him in a defense.

When United was down 2-2 on Saturday, Fernandes scored two goals that saved the day and helped the Red Devils get back into the game. It wasn’t until Dominic Solanke scored in the 16th minute that United fell behind. The Portuguese star was caught arguing with his goalie about his goal kicks.

Even though Onana stood firm and Ten Hag told Fernandes to calm down, the United captain kept fighting and ended it by making a defiant gesture at his boss.

Ten Hag was asked about Fernandes’s angry performance in an interview with Match of the Day after the game. “He scored twice, was very creative, and it’s true that he gives the team a lot of energy,” the United manager said.

As a captain, he brings the energy, and we’re very happy with this. He says how he feels, which is that we are all upset. The last few games have cost us too many points that we didn’t need to lose. We need to win our games.

Ten Hag said that he wasn’t happy with how the team was doing. He said, “We know we need to win.” We want to fight and compete for the top spots.

“You saw the game; we had a tough first half. Harry Maguire was having a tough time, but he got through it because we needed him to.” The second half was much better, and it’s good that we came back twice from being down.

“There’s good team spirit. It could have been more calm and collected by the end, and we could have taken more risks. The other team was having a hard time because they put in so much effort in the first half and there were so many gaps, but we didn’t take advantage of it.

In the last few seconds of extra time, Bournemouth was given a penalty that seemed to give them a chance to win. But VAR changed the result because Willy Kambwala’s challenge on Ryan Christie happened outside the box.

Ten Hag insisted, “It was not a punishment at all.” “We conceded – in the last four games – three penalties, and all of them were debatable.”

Next up for Manchester United is the FA Cup. Next Sunday, they will play Coventry in a semi-final match at Wembley.
