Bruno Fernandes, who was named as Manchester United's new captain at the start of the season, said his side deserve an apology after not being awarded a penalty early on in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.
"I want to see what's going to happen this week if it's going to happen the same show they did last week. I want to see if Jon Moss also comes to apologise to our dressing room like they said he did to the manager of Wolves."
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton gave an interview to the 'Daily Mail' and believes the Portuguese playmaker "needs to sort himself out" before criticising refereeing decisions.
"Absolutely not [the referee wasn't to blame]. Fernandes first and foremost needs to sort himself out, his team out, before looking at referees and their decisions. Bruno Fernandes for me shouldn't be captain of Manchester United, absolutely not, he's not a leader. That basically sums him up," he said.
"It's about taking responsibility as a captain and the bottom line is, the first two performances of the season for Manchester United they have looked like a testimonial team, like a team that's still stuck in pre-season and he needs to turn up and show better leadership qualities - not blaming referees."
