Don’t try telling Bruno Fernandes to take it easy because the World Cup is just over a week away.
Fernandes played like this was his last game as he inspired Manchester United’s rousing comeback to atone for Sunday’s defeat at Villa Park. Fernandes made the first of United’s two equalisers before he scored their decisive third goal to help send them through to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
On a night when Cristiano Ronaldo was selected for his fifth World Cup and given the evening off by Erik ten Hag, Fernandes more than made up for his fellow Portuguese’s absence. He showed the sort of desire which was lacking in United’s disappointing loss to Aston Villa on Sunday.
