One story dominates the back pages of today’s national newspapers.
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes said after Sunday’s draw at home to Chelsea that he spoke to sacked manager Erik ten Hag and apologised for not doing more to stop him losing his job.
The Dutchman was dismissed on Monday following United’s 2-1 defeat at West Ham, which left them 14th in the table.
And the Portuguese midfielder said the players needed to take some of the responsibility.
“It is not good for anyone at the club when the manager goes,” he told Sky Sports, after scoring from the spot to register his first Premier League goal of the this season in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
“You have to take some of the blame on yourself because it is the team that is not doing so well and it is easier to get rid of a manager than 15 players.
“I spoke to the manager and apologised. We are not scoring goals and I feel responsible. I normally score a lot of goals but I always give 100% and he is aware of that.”
