Erik ten Hag: Man Utd manager requests apology from Fulham for TikTok video
Click on the play icon to listen back to more of what Erik ten Hag had to say about Bruno Fernandes in his news conference...
Manchester United
Image source, Getty ImagesFulham "should apologise" for posting a video on TikTok that appears to mock Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, says Erik ten Hag.
The video, external shows the midfielder go down and clutch his leg before swiftly getting up again during United's 2-1 defeat by the Cottagers on Saturday.
The clip is dubbed with jaunty music and captioned: "So glad he's OK."
"It is not right. Totally out of order and wrong. They should apologise for this," said United manager Ten Hag.
The 15-second video was posted on Fulham's official TikTok account.
The clip, which Ten Hag was told about in a media conference on Thursday but had not seen, shows Fernandes coming into contact with Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic and going to ground.
As play continues without a free-kick being awarded, the 29-year-old can then be seen quickly getting to his feet and demanding the ball.
When asked whether Fernandes is garnering a reputation for simulation, Ten Hag said rival players "are targeting him".
Manchester United

He has gone on to make 391 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 128 goals.
Rashford finished last season with a career-best tally of 30 goals, but he has been unable to make the same impact this time around as United have struggled to build on their first campaign under manager Erik ten Hag.
They sit sixth in the Premier League after 26 games.
"I can take any criticism. I can take any headline. From podcasts, social media and the papers. I can take it," Rashford said.
"But if you start questioning my commitment to this club and my love for football and bringing my family into it, then I'd simply ask you to have a bit more humanity."
Manchester United

Rashford, 26, has scored five goals for United this season and faced criticism about perceived attitude issues.
He missed United's FA Cup win over Newport, days after he was reportedly seen in nightspots in Northern Ireland.
"If you ever question my commitment to United, that's when I have to speak up," the England forward said in a piece for The Players' Tribune., external
"It's like somebody questioning my entire identity, and everything I stand for as a man.
"I grew up here. I have played for this club since I was a boy. My family turned down life-changing money when I was a kid so I could wear this badge."
