The Portuguese was present for the Red Devils as they slumped to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Brentford on Saturday (August 13).
Goalkeeping errors, an inability to defend set-pieces and players unable to play out from the back encapsulated a dreadful day for the 20-time champions of England. Fernandes could be seen consistently waving his arms at others during the clash in west London.
The attacking midfielder got off to an electric start at Old Trafford following his move from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. However, his form has dramatically tailed off in recent months.
Speaking to TalkSPORT, Agbonlahor described the Portugal international as ’the worst possible teammate’. The former England and Aston Villa striker stated:
Erik ten Hag cancels Manchester United day off following humiliating defeat
Despite a positive pre-season, Manchester United sit at the bottom of the Premier League table following dreadful defeats in their two opening fixtures.
The Red Devils’ display against the Brentford Community Stadium was pathetic and has clearly opened Ten Hag’s eyes as to the size of the job at hand. According to The Guardian, the Dutch manager forced his players to come into training the morning after Saturday’s clash despite Sunday being the player’s day off.
United face a daunting prospect next Monday (August 22) as they host Liverpool, with the club surely desperate to bring in new players to improve their squad.
