Set to comedic music, the implication was that the Portuguese, who got up after a few seconds of showing visible discomfort, was playacting. The associated caption read, \u201cSo glad he\u2019s ok\u2026\u201d, accompanied by an eye-rolling emoji.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know this but if they did it, I would say it is not right,\u201d Ten Hag commented on Thursday, the day after the video was originally posted. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely not right that a club makes such statements because it is totally out of order and they were wrong. So they should apologise for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag, who had already given a strong defence of his player after Wednesday night\u2019s FA Cup fifth round victory over Nottingham Forest, added that referees need to offer more protection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a very passionate football player and he is a very creative football player. He is creating most chances in the Premier League. You see opponents are targeting him and, especially after Saturday, when he had a knock and they see it, I feel the refereeing should protect him,\u201d the boss said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had the chance already in the start of the game because it was obvious they were looking for him. I thought it was definitely a foul on Saturday and it was really misjudged from media, from social media to blame him for that. Then opponents are targeting him and that is not right because the referee should protect him. There were fouls on him, even after the ball was kicked away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag made\u00a0Fernandes\u00a0club captain last summer after the former Sporting CP skipper had worn the armband for much of last season with Harry Maguire on the bench. Unsurprisingly, the\u00a0United\u00a0boss said he considers him to be among the best players he has worked with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[He ranks] highly, very highly,\u201d Ten Hag continued. \u201cFirst of all, his football skills. He is so creative in that final third, creating chances. Then his output and contribution for defending jobs, and then leading, reading a situation, reading the press but also being the example, by running and running in the right moments. Pointing to players around him. He is absolutely a leader by example.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik ten Hag has demanded that Fulham apologise Bruno Fernandes over a\u00a0TikTok\u00a0that appeared to be derogatory towards the Manchester United captain in the wake of last weekend\u2019s Premier League meeting between the clubs at Old Trafford.
