Former Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, urged the Dutchman to replace Portugal International as captain of the club as he believes he is not capable of controlling his emotions.
“You’ve got your skipper out there. You’ve got a technical skipper, when you’ve got a technician as a skipper, I think it’s always dangerous because they’re going to have off games.
“Even (Christian) Eriksen in his prime, (Michel) Platini in his prime, they’d have the off day. They were technical players.
“Against Liverpool, it was never Fernandes because (United) never had the ball enough. Defensively, he’s not been called upon.”
“How can he lead the team? It’s a very difficult one for him. I actually think it would be better for him as a footballer to take it off him.”
