Manchester United have confirmed defender Harry Maguire has sustained a muscle injury that will keep him out for about three weeks.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag feels Bruno Fernandes’s performances have improved over the course of the season, to the extent that he is a worthy winner of April’s Player of the Month award.

The skipper beat off competition from Harry Maguire and Alejandro Garnacho to win the trophy for the second time this term, after also landing the individual honour in August.

After a stellar showing throughout last month, the captain will now look to continue his form in May, with four Premier League games and an Emirates FA Cup final to come for the Reds.

“He is our captain and he works during the off season, so hard on the training ground, and he brings the energy in every game,” said Ten Hag. “Every occasion, he sets an example as a captain for the team and you see his form growing across the season.

“By the end of the season, he is in great form and he is scoring goals, making key actions with assists. I am really impressed with his performances, contributing to the team spirit but also individually with his creation. I am happy with his performances.”
