Fulham recently posted a TikTok video on their official account that poked fun at Bruno Fernandes, and this caused quite a stir. However, Marco Silva, the manager of Fulham, has come to the defense of Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, who had publicly criticized Fulham for their video. Ten Hag had called for an apology from Fulham for their clip, in which Fernandes was pretending to be injured during their match against United at Old Trafford. The post was accompanied by a caption that read, "So glad he's ok."
Silva, on the other hand, believes that he would also stand up for one of his players in a similar situation and has nothing but praise for Fernandes and the impact he has made since joining United. When asked about Fulham's TikTok video, Silva stated that he was aware of it but hadn't seen it himself as he is not a big fan of social media. He also mentioned that Ten Hag's response was only natural as a manager defending his player, and he would do the same for his own players.
Speaking about Fernandes, Silva expressed his admiration for the United captain, whom he knows well as a top player and professional. He emphasized that being the captain of a club like Manchester United requires a certain level of skill and character, and Fernandes possesses all the necessary qualities. Silva also acknowledged that Ten Hag was simply standing up for his player, and he could understand that.
Silva then went on to address the attention and noise surrounding the incident, pointing out that it was only getting blown out of proportion because it involved Manchester United. He even joked that if it had been him reacting to the video, it would have been forgotten in no time. Silva then expressed his desire to talk about Fulham's performance and their recent victory, rather than a TikTok video.
In the end, Silva reiterated his stance on the matter and stated that he would have preferred to answer questions about the team's success rather than a social media post. He also apologized to the journalists, saying that he didn't mean to come off as rude. With that, he hoped that the focus would shift back to the team's performance and their recent win, rather than a TikTok video.
