Man Utd star Rasmus Hojlund complained privately to manager Erik ten Hag about the conduct of teammate Bruno Fernandes, according to the Daily Mail.

Hojlund was unhappy in November when Fernandes sided with Portuguese compatriot Diogo Dalot during an argument between Hojlund and Dalot in the aftermath of the Champions League defeat to Copenhagen.

The Dane was also unhappy that Fernandes was deliberately not passing to him in attack.

Hojlund lodged a complaint to Ten Hag about the behaviour of both Portuguese players..

Man Utd’s coaching staff did not want to get involved in the issue so Hojlund was told to speak to Dalot and Fernandes.

Following the discussions, Hojlund and Dalot made up and put their differences to the past, while Fernandes also made amends to the Dane.

This is not the first story that has emerged this season regarding problems in the dressing room.

Ten Hag himself has had a number of problems with players, in particular Jadon Sancho who was exiled from the first team squad after publicly calling his manager a liar. He was eventually loaned out in January to Borussia Dortmund.

These problems in the dressing room have not helped what has been a disastrous season on the pitch for Man Utd.

The Red Devils are down in seventh place, 16 points off a Champions League place, and were eliminated from this season’s Champions League in the group stages.

Hojlund at Man Utd

Man Utd signed Hojlund last summer from Atalanta for €75 million plus €10m in add-ons.

The 21-year-old struggled badly in the first half of the season, failing to score a single Premier League goal before Christmas.

However, Hojlund started to pick up form in 2024 and scored in six games in a row.

He has dipped again in the last games but still has a respectable 13 goals in his maiden season in all competitions.
