  • Fulham posted sarcastic TikTok post on Fernandes
  • Man Utd claim captain suffered injury in incident
  • Ten Hag praised Portuguese's "high pain threshold"

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Fernandes was widely mocked in the traditional media and on social media for his reaction to a tackle by Sasa Lukic during the 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham last Saturday. Fernandes went down in a heap after contact from Lukic but got up soon after and continued the match. Fulham's official TikTok account had helped fuelled some of the reaction by posting 'Hope he's OK' below a replay of the incident. However, United have stated that Fernandes suffered a serious injury following the contact with Lukic but played through the pain to finish the game.

  • WHAT UNITED SAID

    A club source said: "Most players would have been substituted and missed the next game. Bruno stayed on until the final whistle, in order to first try and win the game, and then try and salvage a point. He then fought to be available for Forest last night [Wednesday], playing through the pain to do so, and providing the assist for the late winner. Far from evidence of histrionics, this episode has been evidence of Bruno’s dedication, resilience and leadership by example."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Fernandes set up Harry Maguire's equaliser against Fulham and nearly scored a winner before Alex Iwobi snatched victory for the visitors. Fernandes overcame the injury to play in the FA Cup fifth round tie at Nottingham Forest, where he set up Casemiro's 89th-minute winner.
