Ince became the latest former United skipper to criticise Fernandes antics, after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bloody-rubbish-erik-ten-hag-bruno-fernandes-roy-keane-man-utd-embarrassed-premier-league-position/blt0185aaa476f235c9" target="_blank">Roy Keane slammed the Portuguese</a> playmaker following his decision to allow Marcus Rashford to take a penalty in Sunday's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-everton-alejandro-garnacho-kobbie-mainoo/blt9347aa3fc0a65407" target="_blank">3-0 win at Everton.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ince, who won two Premier League titles with United and wore the captain's armband on a number of occasions, told <a href="https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1729134150731411541" target="_blank">talkSPORT</a>: "I don't know what I see in Fernandes. Is he leader by the way he plays? At the moment he's not playing to the best of his ability. Yes, he scored the winner against Fulham. But as far as being a leader, you do it by organisation."I, as a captain, always felt, my main thing was if I wasn't playing well, make sure the people around you are playing well because it shows how bad you're playing. When you look at Fernandes, sometimes it's just about him. When he's not playing well, you can see it in his body language. You can see him arguing with the ref."

WHAT INCE SAID

Fernandes became United's captain in all but name last season after Harry Maguire fell out of favour with Erik ten Hag and was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/bruno-fernandes-officially-named-new-man-utd-captain-harry-maguire-axed-erik-ten-hag/bltb153d21b595319ce" target="_blank">officially named skipper</a> at the start of this campaign. However, he has been repeatedly criticised for his attitude when things go against United, such as in their 7-0 hammering by Liverpool last season. He was also questioned on several occasions as United made a dismal start to the current campaign, losing nine of their opening 19 games.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United will need Fernandes to step up and silence his critics when they face Galatasaray in a make-or-break Champions League clash on Wednesday in Istanbul. Ten Hag's side will then turn their attention to a huge clash with Newcastle in the Premier League on December 2.
