Ten Hag demands apology after Fernandes clip as Glazers face more criticism
Manchester United landed themselves a spot in the last eight of the FA Cup on Wednesday night thanks to a late win over Nottingham Forest.
It means their hopes of winning silverware this term remain alive, albeit they've got the unenviable task of trying to knock off Liverpool in the next round. Erik ten Hag will have been pleased with his side's response following their surprise loss at home to Fulham.
The Dutchman's future remains unclear with Sir Jim Ratcliffe now in the building. The Ineos chief will cast an eye over their football operations before some cut-throat decisions in the summer, which could yet see Ten Hag axed after two seasons at Old Trafford. Here's the latest from Manchester.
Ten Hag hammers Fulham for Fernandes video
Ten Hag has stated that Fulham are “out of order” and demanded an apology after they mocked Bruno Fernandes on social media.
Fulham posted a video on their official TikTok account which clearly took aim at Fernandes for his perceived play-acting last weekend. The clip shows Fernandes going to ground, waving his arm in the air to plead for a free-kick. When his protests are ignored, Fernandes gets back to his feet and asks for the ball, appearing to have made an swift recovery from the challenge.

The clip of Fernandes is accompanied by the caption "So glad he's ok" and an eye-rolling emoji with comical music also included. Ten Hag has said: “It is absolutely not right that a club makes such a statement, because it is totally out of order and wrong and they should apologise for this."

It seems as though Old Trafford is not the only facility the Glazers neglect with a report from the NFL Players Association revealing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 'smelly' facilities and the Glazers charge players' families to use a daycare room on gamedays.
The American family have owned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1995 but a report published by the NFPLA this week has laid bare their flaws when it comes to keeping the NFL franchise's infrastructure up to scratch. The NFPLA is the labour union representing NFL players and they produce a yearly survey to highlight their member's thoughts on how their teams operate.
The results are published as a scorecard for each franchise and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' report has revealed they have 'unclean' and 'smelly' facilities.

Gary Neville has criticised Ten Hag after he used a press conference to hit back at Jamie Carragher, who was critical of his team's defending on Sky Sports.
Carragher highlighted United's issues after their loss to Fulham, suggesting they look like they'd never played together. Ten Hag was unhappy with such comments and chose to respond in front of the press, but Neville was saddened by such a response.
“I must admit that when I saw it appear, my heart sank a little, from a Manchester United perspective, that he was getting involved in that. He might be secretly or privately annoyed and think there are some points you made that are wrong," he told the Stick to Football podcast.
"But [he has to think], 'We have conceded a lot of chances, I’m not going to win this one, we’ve just lost a game, got a big game against Nottingham Forest, let’s not look like I’m even interested in that'. That was my thinking.”
