Richards blast Fernandes tactic
Micah Richards has blasted a "staggering" Bruno Fernandes tactic when Manchester United are losing.
The Portuguese star was on the losing side in the Manchester derby asĀ Man City ran out 3-0 winners at Old TraffordĀ on Sunday.
The former Man City star claimed Fernandes will run out of position to try and endear himself to the fans when it might not be the most effective use of himself.
Richards said onĀ The Rest is Football podcast: "Have you noticed what Fernandes does though?
"When Man United go behind, and he is not having a good game, what he does is he starts running around trying to get the crowd on side.
"He is running out of position trying to get everyone to believe that he is workingĀ really hardĀ for the team, but really he is just playing for himself. It was staggering toĀ see.
"Then, every decision that goes against United, his arms are up in the air.
"As a captain, I don't know if the pressure is too much, but it is not quite working out."
It comes after Roy Keane called on Erik ten Hag to strip him of the captaincy.

Haaland will feel āhard done byā if Messi wins Ballon dāOr says Yorke
Man Utd icon Dwight Yorke has claimed Erling Haaland will not be best pleased if he fails to win the Ballon dāOr this year.
Speaking toĀ Genting Casino, he said: āThe World Cup may only be seven games, but itās seen as the biggest prize in our sport.
āWinning the treble obviously requires a lot more consistency, but those trophies will always be overshadowed by the World Cup.
āErling Haaland will have a great argument, but you canāt argue with what Lionel Messiās done.
āLook at what heās done with Inter Miami ā heās made the sport such a huge deal in America, and nobody has been able to make that kind of impact over there.
āItās hard to look beyond Messi for the Ballon dāOr. People said he couldnāt be the greatest ever without a World Cup, and he went and did it.
āI think heāll edge it, but Haaland has a right to feel hard done by.ā

Yorke reveals Beckham wedding antics
Dwight Yorke has lifted the lid on some of the wedding antics at David Beckham's wedding.
Speaking toĀ AltIndex.com, the Man United legend said: "I was on such a high at the time and I can't really explain how I felt during my first season and Beckham's wedding in Dublin. I was having so much fun that it was a blur.
"I felt like I was having the best time of my life being at all of these major occasions! Beckham's wedding was a great time – I remember dancing into the early hours! I was the last one on the dancefloor, I'll tell you that.
"David was on the dancefloor for a period of time, but there came a time when the groom has to get whizzed off with his wife. Not that I know, but I assume that's what happens at the end of the night.
"David left at some point, but when the dancing started and what I'd consider the more boring parts were over, that's when I really start to come alive.
"You have to do your due diligence and get the formalities out of the way, and once it did, I came into play a bit more and it was all going down."

'United will never be like Ajax' says Ten Hag
Erik ten Hag has delivered a damning assessment on his Man United squad, declaring they will never be able to play like Ajax.
His Ajax side were lauded for their easy-on-the-eye style, but despite fan hopes it seems this style will not be directly implemented into the United team due to the players having different qualities.
Ten Hag said: "Never. We will never play thatĀ football. Because those were different players. This is also not why I came here.
"We are playing different football than I showed at Ajax because I have to, because I can't play the same way.
"The players decide how you play. Ajax has a very typical and characteristic style of play, with Manchester United I will always show different football, I did so last year as well.
"We play much more direct football here because I have the players for that here."

United set home loss record
Yesterday's home loss to Manchster City means United have now lost as many home games since Sir Alex Ferguson left as he did in his whole United career.
From 1986 to 2013, Fergie only lost 34 home Premier League games.
That's now been equalled in just the ten years since he left.
