He replied when asked if Fernandes will continue to wear the armband.
Yes, definitely, I think he is playing a brilliant season. He occupies a really important role, which is why we are in the position where we are because he is giving energy to the team. He is not only running a lot and in the highest intensity, but also in the right way, in the right direction and he is pointing and coaching players. He is an inspiration for the whole team but no-one is perfect. Everyone has his mistakes and everyone has to learn. He is an inspiration for the whole team but no-one is perfect, everyone has his mistakes and everyone has to learn. I have to learn and he will learn as well because he is intelligent. So I am really happy to have Bruno Fernandes in my team and if Harry is not on the pitch, he is our captain.
Manchester United will hope to get back to winning ways after their humiliating performance against Liverpool.
