Midfielder Bruno Fernandes hit out at the arrangements concerning the World Cup in Qatar after Manchester United brought the curtain down on the first stint of the Premier League season with a 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Alejandro Garnacho stepped off the bench to net a dramatic 93rd-minute winner for the Reds, ensuring they went into the pause with a spring in their step. After Christian Eriksen had seen his first-half opener cancelled out by former United winger Daniel James just past the hour mark, the contest looked set to finish in a 1-1 stalemate until the youngster made his mark.
It means United will resume their campaign after the World Cup on December 27 in a healthy position, just three points shy of the top-four. In an ideal world, they could have done without the upcoming break, though the World Cup is football's showpiece event that millions around the world love.
