Rasmus Hojlund 'complained to Man Utd coaches about Bruno Fernandes' after 'falling out' with another teammate
Rasmus Hojlund reportedly complained to Manchester United coaches about Bruno Fernandes after falling out with another teammate.
According to The Daily Mail, Erik ten Hag and his backroom staff were presented with a 'tricky issue' within the squad.
Hojlund, who scored his side's winning penalty in their shootout victory over Coventry City in the FA Cup, made a complaint against Fernandes.
It's claimed the striker went to the Man United coaches complaining that the star midfielder wasn't passing to him enough.

Hojlund 'fell out' with Diogo Dalot during Man United's crushing 4-3 defeat to Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Fernandes sided with his fellow countryman and when the Dane raised his concerns with the coaches, he was told to address them directly with Dalot.
Per the report, it was only when they put it behind them that the Man United captain also made his peace with Hojlund, and harmony was restored.
Fernandes has been one of Ten Hag's best performers this season, having played 43 games across all competitions.
He scored in normal time against Coventry before converting a spot kick in the penalty shootout.
Despite Man United securing a spot against Manchester City in the FA Cup final, the manner of the victory has mounted more pressure on Ten Hag.
And the Portuguese refused to back the Dutch boss staying next season, insisting it's 'not our job'.
He said: "That doesn't have to affect anyone because we have to focus on everything, we have this season because we have still chances to get in European positions in the league, we have to finish as high as possible, that's the main thing.
"Then we have an FA Cup final to play. So, no one has to be worried because it's not our job to be worried about these things that come from the outside or the inside or whatever.
"We have the owners who take care of that, we have the directors and then we players it's about performing on the pitch and giving our best."
