Bruno Fernandes has told Erik ten Hag he will be 'unhappy' if he doesn't play every minute for Manchester United despite the club's loaded fixture list in February and the arrival of Marcel Sabitzer.
United are facing eight games this month which will end with a trip to Wembley in the Carabao Cup final following their 5-0 aggregate win over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Ten Hag will have to manage his squad carefully to cope with the heavy demands, but Fernandes insists that he doesn't want a rest.
'I will be unhappy if I don't start, if I don't play games all 90 minutes, the manager knows that,' said Fernandes, who has featured in 31 of United's 33 fixtures so far this season.
'I'm fully fit, I'm available for the team, and whatever I have to do it's no problem. Not only me, but everyone wants to play a full 90 minutes every game.

'Obviously we all know that there are players that need more rest than others, but I feel good.
'I feel good but whenever the manager thinks he needs to rest me - like in the last game I came off in the FA Cup - he will decide and I will accept because we have to be in the best form in every game and he has to decide what's best for the team.'
United signed Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich on deadline day to compensate for the loss of Christian Eriksen until early May with an ankle injury.
