BRUNO FERNANDES phoned Erik ten Hag to apologise for not doing enough to prevent the former Manchester United manager's sacking.
The Dutch coach was sacked a week ago, after two and a half years in charge.
United skipper Fernandes, speaking after the draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford, said he felt compelled to call Ten Hag and say sorry for his role in him losing his job.
He said: "We know that Erik has gone it's not good for anyone at the club when the manager goes.
"The team is not the best, the results are not the best and he's the one who pays for it. Whenever you see a manager go, you have to take some of the blame on yourself - it's because the team is not doing so well.
"It's easier to get rid of a manager than 15 players. I spoke to the manager and apologised to him.
