Goal scorer Bruno Fernandes heaped praise on the performances of Manchester United's defenders and Casemiro following Wednesday evening's impressive 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
Although United spent much of the game on the front foot it was their two centre-backs, two full-backs and defensive-midfielder Casemiro who, in the eyes of Fernandes, were pivotal in helping them move back to within a point of the top four.
"I think everyone knows that the manager wants to play with that intensity, high pressure and to try and be as high as possible, so that when we recover the ball we are closer to the goal," Fernandes told Amazon Prime Video, reflecting on United's approach. "I was saying to Marcus [Rashford] after he missed the first chance, 'don't worry, if we create chances we will get closer to scoring goals'.
