Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says Bruno Fernandes will remain captain in the absence of Harry Maguire.

The Portugal international was the subject of widespread criticism following Sunday's dismal 7-0 loss away at rivals Liverpool.

Yes, definitely," said the United boss when asked if Fernandes would keep the armband.

I think he is playing a brilliant season and he has played a big role in us being where we are. He is an inspiration to the team; everyone makes mistakes and we learn. I have to learn and he will as well.

He is intelligent. I'm really pleased he is our player and he is captain when Harry [Maguire] is not playing."
