Former United skipper Roy Keane has been particularly critical of the midfield maestro’s habitual gesticulation and Fernandes said that he’d work towards improving that aspect of his game.
“You have to take it in a positive understanding that whatever people are saying, if it’s a margin to improve or not. I have a huge respect for Roy Keane," the United skipper stated.

United’s win over Leicester lifted the team to 13th in the English top flight as Ruben Amorim’s men took their season’s tally to 37 points from 29 outings. The Portuguese head coach showered his compatriot with lavish praise following his statement performance against the side managed by former striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
“He’s a special guy in that aspect, he is always ready, he can recover quite well," Amorim said of his captain.
“I don’t know the future but I’m reading what the performance department tell me, the numbers, and then what I see in the game," the 40-year-old added.
“I always see a Bruno that is dangerous and one Bruno that can recover in every situation. So he is going to stay there. I already knew Bruno. What surprised me the most is the way he works every day," the United boss stated.
