Roy Keane tells Erik ten Hag to strip Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United captaincy

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Former midfielder Roy Keane has urged manager Erik ten Hag to strip Bruno Fernandes of the Manchester United captaincy following Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Two goals from Erling Haaland and a late effort from Phil Foden sealed a comfortable victory for City, who barely had to get out of second gear to scoop all three points.

They toyed with United during the second half, dragging them one way and then the other with their possession-based game. United, who started reasonably brightly, had no answer for City's brilliance, failing to carve out a clear-cut chance after half-time.

That resulted in mounting frustration and Fernandes and substitute Antony being booked in second-half injury time.
