The Mail cited a source close to a United player as saying: "The players can be quite dismissive of him. Sometimes they roll their eyes when he’s talking."
Dressing room and armband
TEAMtalk reported that Wheeler wrote insiders say Fernandes bonds the dressing room together and question who else in the United squad should wear the armband. TEAMtalk also reported that Wheeler wrote some of Fernandes' teammates in recent years have seen him as a more divisive figure and that his close relationship with Ruben Amorim was viewed with suspicion.
