A host of other media outlets have run stories today picking up on Eric ten Haag slamming a social media post from Fulham that pokes fun at the Manchester United skipper going down easily late on in the Whites’ 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Saturday.

ten Haag has demanded an apology from the Cottagers, claiming that their posting of a viral video on Tik Tok that captured Fernandes falling theatrically to the ground as he fired a shot goalwards having been challenged by Sasa Lukic – and then getting back to his feet to rejoin the attack having realised he wasn’t going to win a free-kick.

We humbly suggest that an under-pressure Manchester United manager, reeling from being outfoxed by Marco Silva, would have more pressing matters on his mind.
