Manchester United coach, Erik Ten Hag has opened up on the perceived feud between two of his superstars, Antony and club captain, Bruno Fernandes.
Antony during the club’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace last Wednesday was seen having a heated exchange with Fernandes.
The conflict occurred after it was reported that most United players believe the Brazilian winger is dragging them backward with his style of football.
However, following the winger’s poor showing during Red Devil’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates, many pundits and fans of Man United have called for the player to be dropped from the starting XI.

Addressing the issues during a press conference ahead of Manchester United Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest tonight, Ten Hag denied that the two players have fallen out.
He, however, acknowledged the heated exchanges between the duo, but added that both players have since moved on and are now on good terms
Ten Hag said: “I think that can happen. They are both players who play with heart and, when they bring that into the game, they are at their best so it’s always a kind of balance.
“And always between players, sometimes emotions flare up but I think, in the second moment, they are already good with each other so that is not a problem. I think the players are definitely not frustrated with him.”
