Manchester United were beaten by Chelsea on Friday evening to add even more misery to what has been a terrible season.
The Red Devils are 16th in the Premier League, and there isn’t much to shout about at Old Trafford ahead of next week’s Europa League final.

United weren’t great against Chelsea, and one player who was poor was Rasmus Hojlund.
Hojlund was criticised after the game, but speaking on Premier League Productions, Tim Sherwood has noted that he wasn’t happy with another player’s actions at Stamford Bridge.
Sherwood noticed during the game that Bruno Fernandes was getting more and more frustrated with Hojlund, and the pundit says he didn’t agree with the way the Manchester United captain acted towards the striker.

Tim Sherwood comments on Bruno Fernandes’ treatment of Rasmus Hojlund
Sherwood spoke about how Fernandes was treating Hojlund at Stamford Bridge.
The pundit says that he noticed the midfielder was getting wound up by the striker, and he didn’t agree with the way Fernandes was treating the forward.
“He tries his best, he runs around for the shirt, you can’t fault his effort, but you can fault his ability and his confidence at the moment. Bruno was getting so frustrated with him, he’s the captain of the club, but some of his actions towards him, I didn’t agree with that, the boy is struggling for confidence, but you can understand the frustration,” Sherwood said.
What Rasmus Hojlund has said about Bruno Fernandes
Fernandes did have a go at Hojlund during the Chelsea game, and that must’ve hurt the striker.
Indeed, not only is Fernandes United’s captain, he’s a player Hojlund really admires.
Hojlund was full of praise for Fernandes last season, claiming that he’s an amazing captain and an amazing player.
“I was very happy for him because he’s also getting a lot of criticism, and it’s not fair because he’s doing everything top-level all the time,” Hojlund said.
“He’s an amazing captain. He’s been very good recently and also in the last many, many games. But again, a player who gets a lot of criticism, which is not needed.”
Hojlund has always backed Fernandes as a captain, but, on this occasion, the United captain appears to have let his teammate down by allowing his emotions to get the better of him.
