Keane says Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag should strip Bruno Fernandes of captaincy

Roy Keane says Bruno Fernandes should be stripped of the Manchester United captaincy.

Keane, the former United skipper, was scathing of Fernandes' behaviour in Sunday's Manchester derby defeat as City dismantled their rivals in their own backyard to win 3-0.

Erik ten Hag only made Fernandes his captain in the summer after stripping Harry Maguire of the armband, but Keane says the Man Utd manager should hold his hands up and say 'I got it wrong'.

"Today having watched him again I would take the captaincy off him 100 per cent," Sky Sports pundit Keane said on Super Sunday.

"I know it's a big decision, obviously they changed the captaincy with Maguire, but Fernandes is not captain material.

"He is a talented player no doubt about it. But what I saw today - we've discussed many times before, it was last season at Liverpool - his whinging, his moaning and throwing his arms up in the air constantly.

"It really isn't acceptable. From what we saw today, I'm thinking I would take that off him.

"You have to start somewhere. We were talking about where do you start [fixing the problems] - the manager, board level. I would start with that because the manager is capable of doing that.

"Fernandes is a brilliant footballer but in terms of captain material he is the opposite to what I would want in a captain."

Man Utd were "obliterated" in the Manchester derby by Pep Guardiola's City, according to Gary Neville, but the Sky Sports pundit has insisted United should stick with the increasingly beleaguered Ten Hag.

Erling Haaland's penalty separated the sides at half-time before City turned on the style to seal an emphatic 3-0 win.

"It was a footballing lesson. Manchester United didn't know what to do," concluded Micah Richards.
