Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes liked a video about teammate Rasmus Hojlund.
Fernandes, 30, has been a standout in what has been a poor season for Man United, with the club currently 14th in the Premier League following a 1-0 home defeat against Wolves on Sunday (April 20).
The Portuguese started on the bench and was introduced on the hour mark, although he failed to make an impact and even missed a clear-cut chance after Alejandro Garnacho picked him out in the box with just 15 minutes left to play.
However, it was not just the United skipper who failed to capitalise on attacking opportunities, with fans also quick to call out Hojlund, 22, with the Denmark international having scored just three goals in 28 league games this season.

Speaking after Sunday’s match, United head coach Ruben Amorim said: "I think if you look at the games, we have several players that miss big chances, not just Rasmus.
"Of course, Rasmus, the game is to score goals because he's a striker, but it's a team thing. I already said that. Our team should score more goals, it's not just Rasmus missing chances."
On Monday (April 21), a video of Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves was posted to Ferdinand’s Instagram page.
“Hojlund has got to get hold and the wingers and say, ‘this is what I need when you’re in this position',” said Ferdinand in the clip.

And fans were quick to point out that Fernandes liked the video.
One said: "Bruno liked this."
Another added: "The fact that the captain likes this speaks volumes."

A third explained: "Yeah, Bruno liked this post."
Ferdinand also explained how he feels United's lack of quality up front could have a negative impact on 17-year-old Chido Obi-Martin.
“If you’re going to invest in an Obi, who was courted by every club in Europe, every top club wanted him,” added the former defender on ‘Rio Ferdinand Presents’.
“If you are going to invest in him, you need to get your number one striker right.

“He’s going to suffer without a number one striker. He’s not looking at Hojlund with any like, ‘I’m going to learn off you’.”
