Bruno Fernandes becomes first Man Utd player to address Erik ten Hag's future immediately after FA Cup final

Bruno Fernandes addressed the future of manager Erik ten Hag immediately after Manchester United won the FA Cup final.

United produced a near-perfect tactical display at Wembley, defeating reigning holders Manchester City 2-1 through goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

Jeremy Doku's late strike was the only blot on the copybook for Ten Hag's side, who otherwise managed to keep an under-par City out over the 90 minutes.

The victory comes amid reports over the future of Ten Hag, with The Guardian claiming on Friday that United were set to sack him after the final.

The Red Devils do have history with this particular scenario, having parted company with Louis van Gaal immediately after he won the FA Cup final in 2016.

After the final was over, Fernandes was interviewed by ITV Sport - and was asked about Ten Hag.

He replied: "[He got] everything [right today]. He prepares every game well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

"It was about being compact and making pressure between lines, about showing some heart and passion.

When asked whether he thinks Ten Hag should stay at United, Fernandes added: "We just want to celebrate. We just want to enjoy this moment, together with all the fans and the staff, including the manager - we all deserve this. All.

"That [Ten Hag's future] is not for me to decide. I am just a football player."

In a separate interview with BBC Sport, Fernandes was again asked about his manager's future: "We know the manager has been under too much scrutiny. But that's part of being at Manchester United.

"Players, staff, they all know we're going to be under this. The manager, he's experienced enough, he knows. He deserves [this FA Cup win] also. Everyone today, the staff, the backroom, the players, we all deserve this."
