Bruno Fernandes has scored three winning goals for Man United this season, having been officially appointed their captain in July.
Erik ten Hag lauded Bruno Fernandes as an "example" to Manchester United players after his matchwinning goal against Fulham.
In the wake of the Manchester derby defeat to City last week, United legend Roy Keane criticised Fernandes's captaincy and recommended he be stripped of it. "So often already, from the moment I make him captain, he did this," Ten Hag said. "Always when he's playing he is giving energy, he is the example and you see the way he is pressing, the way he is counter-pressing, the way he is doing the recovery, he is absolutely the example.
All six of United's Premier League wins this season have been by a single goal but the result took precedence over the performance after a galling week.
