Ten Hag wasted no time in publicly backing Fernandes. As the FA Cup final against Manchester City loomed, the Portuguese player spoke candidly about their rapport.
“I’m aware that he’s really happy with the way I train, the way I play, the way I show my emotions and the way I show my passion for the game,” Fernandes said to the BBC.
“He knows I care. That’s why probably sometimes it makes you do some things that you should not do.
“But I will never do anything to make the team look bad, make my teammates look bad, or something that is not good for the team. He knows that, so that’s why it protects me.
“I think that’s good because he shows you the respect, he shows you the protection, but always with the demands behind that because obviously when you protect someone you want them to give you some back, so he can have his reasons to protect you.

We had many conversations this season.”
