'Discipline is important' - Fernandes backs Ten Hag's approach

Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United lacked discipline before Erik ten Hag's arrival and has welcomed his no-nonsense approach towards punctuality.

He said: "We missed that for a while and discipline is important.

"Discipline is not only the way you play - the position that you have, what you have to do - it's also off the pitch.

"Don't be late for the meetings. Don't be late for the meals. That's really important, because if everyone is on time and someone comes late, he should be punished.

"I like to be on time, so I won't have problems with that."

Fernando was also asked about Cristiano Ronaldo's United future.

He said: "I don't know what Cristiano said to the club, to the manager, but we have to respect his space.

“Cristiano was our top scorer last season; he added goals. But it's not on me - it's the club that has to make the choices and Cristiano makes his own. I don't know what's going on in his head."
