"Manchester United" on Wednesday stepped into the FA Cup quarterfinals after a dramatic battle.

"The Red Devils" in the eighth-finals defeated "Nottingham Forest" team with a minimum result of 1:0.

Before this match, there were doubts whether Bruno Fernandes could help the "United" team, but the captain, despite feeling pain, stepped onto the field.

After the match, "Man Utd" coach Erik ten Hag did not spare kind words for the Portuguese, but was angry with the actions of the "Nottingham" players.

"I don't want to specifically talk about what Bruno Fernandes is going through, because you clearly saw that the 'Nottingham' players tried to take advantage of it and played roughly against him. All I can say is that Bruno is playing with a fairly serious injury.

We saw many fouls against him. Perhaps I am a bit too harsh, but the opponents behaved the same way on the field.

After that, we see criticism of Fernandes on social media. It's just pathetic," E. ten Hagas spoke.
