Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has told the rest of his players to follow captain Bruno Fernandes’ example.
Fernandes returned from his ankle injury just in time to captain Ten Hag’s side in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Thursday night.
The Portugal international was influential in the Red Devils’ midfield and provided the assist for Marcus Rashford to score their second goal.
Ten Hag praised Fernandes for his readiness to suffer and make sacrifices, urging the other players to see the Portuguese as their inspiration.
“It was tough, a big compliment on Bruno. He absolutely doesn’t want to miss this game and he did everything to get fit.
“I think he is the example, that you have to suffer and you have to sacrifice when you want to play on the top level, you want to achieve something.
“So once again he showed there how great a captain he is.
“Hopefully the team can, not learn, but see him as an inspiration and do the same,” he stated.
