Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund has defended his teammate this week.

The Denmark attacker leapt to the defense of club captain Bruno Fernandes.

The Portuguese pass master has been criticized at time this season for his errant passing.

Hojlund told BBC Sport's Football Focus: “I just want to tell him: '“Thanks for the ball, Bruno!'.

“I was very happy for him because he's also getting a lot of criticism.

“It's not fair because he's doing everything at a top level all the time and he's an amazing captain."
