Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea wrote an intriguing comment under Bruno Fernandes’ latest Instagram image, which could be a subtle jab at Roy Keane.

Fernandes, who has recently been under fire for his leadership style, scored the game-winning goal in the 91st minute for Erik ten Hag’s side against Fulham in the Premier League.

His attempt came just days after Roy Keane urged for the 29-year-old midfielder’s captaincy to be revoked following United’s 3-0 loss in the Manchester derby.

“The first thing I would do – I have to tell you, watching him again – I would definitely take the captaincy off him. 100 per cent,” Keane said.

“I know it’s a big decision. Obviously, they changed the captaincy with Maguire [but] Fernandes is not captain material.”

United manager Erik ten Hag hit back at Bruno Fernandes’ critics after his Player of the Match performance at Craven Cottage.

When asked to give his opinion on those who have questioned Fernandes’ captaincy credentials, Ten Hag told TNT Sports after the full-time whistle: “I don’t understand it.

“So everyone has their mistakes and no-one is perfect. But he is doing a lot of things very good. He shows every time as a captain that he is an example.

“As you saw today, how he is working, how he is pressing and then in the end he scores the goal. So he’s massively important for us.”

Fernandes also commented on his performance, saying: “With the goal you could see the belief of everyone, fighting for that ball. Everyone was fighting and at the end I could get the shot for the goal and the three points.

“It’s really important, we know the position we are in. We need to get results, it was massively important for us to get the three points today.

“We need to get points to start building something, we have to start somewhere because we’ve got big games coming.”
