Erik ten Hag hails Bruno Fernandes ‘sacrifice’ after Man Utd midfielder completes Tottenham game

The boss suggested Fernandes’s determination is what sets him apart, believing it can act as a true inspiration for his team-mates.

Ten Hag admits that he hopes others will be motivated to follow his lead.

“Once again, he showed there how [much of a] great captain he is, how he has taken responsibility, even if he is not 100 per cent fit. But he did the job. 

“He was important in this game as well, and hopefully others in the team can, not learn, but see him as an inspiration and do the same.”
