'We need him' - Manchester United fans react as Erik ten Hag gives Bruno Fernandes injury update

Manchester United fans have been reacting to Erik ten Hag's update on Bruno Fernandes' injury ahead of Thursday's trip to Tottenham.

Fernandes sustained an ankle injury in the first half of United's FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton but continued to play for the full 90 minutes, before being substituted ahead of extra-time. Pictures of the midfielder in a protective boot intensified concerns that the injury could rule him out for the rest of the season.

When asked for an update on Fernandes, Ten Hag admitted that the Portuguese ace is a "question mark" for Thursday's Premier League clash with Spurs.

"There are some unavailable - [Lisandro] Martinez, [Raphael] Varane," Ten Hag said. "We have to see how Bruno Fernandes is, we don't know yet. Is a question mark. But I think for the rest, we are quite okay.

"It's more often that players, we protect them, prevention but it has to settle down. We have seen he played a full game and it happened in the first half. But tomorrow is quick, we have to see what is possible."

By only being a doubt for Thursday, it seems Fernandes' injury is not as serious as was initially feared. And United fans have taken to social media to share their relief.
