Manchester United midfielder Fernandes in doubt for Spurs clash
The HinduManchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is carrying an ankle injury that could rule him out of Thursday’s Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur, manager Erik ten Hag said. The 28-year-old Portuguese international picked up the knock in the first half of Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal penalty shootout win over Brighton & Hove Albion and was substituted in extra-time. “It’s obvious they had a really bad defeat, of course they are mad and that can be fuel for bouncing back,” Ten Hag said. That is how we have to prepare for the game and make sure we go on the front foot, be dominant and dictate the game.” The Dutchman also praised Spurs and England captain Harry Kane and said his team would come up with a plan to contain the prolific striker.
