Speaking yesterday after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, the club captain said: "It is easier to get rid of a manager than 15 players. I spoke to the manager and apologised. I was disappointed he has gone. I wasn't scoring goals, we are not scoring and I feel responsible."
Fernandes scored United's opener from the penalty spot against Chelsea in the 70th minute, Moises Caicedo's volley equalising four minutes later. This was United's first league game since Ten Hag's removal and Fernandes's penalty his first league goal this season.
