Bruno Fernandes is keeping his Manchester United promise despite recent criticism

Having scored twice in Manchester United's victory over Fulham in the FA Cup, Bruno Fernandes has moved past Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez in the Reds' scoring charts.

Erik ten Hag's side secured a 3-1 win over their Premier League rivals at Old Trafford on Sunday - progressing to the semi-finals of the competition, where they will face Brighton at Wembley. Fernandes grabbed a brace in the triumph, converting from the penalty spot and then smashing home from close range in injury time.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been vital to the Reds this campaign, with the Portuguese ace playing more minutes than any other outfield player in Europe's top five leagues. With club captain Harry Maguire having fallen down the pecking order under Ten Hag, Fernandes has skippered the side for the majority of the season.
