Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes proved to be the hero for his team once again as he scored two crucial goals in a 4-2 victory over Sheffield United on Wednesday. The win came at a crucial time for United and their manager Erik ten Hag, who has been under immense pressure in recent weeks.
Despite falling behind twice to goals from Jayden Bogle and Ben Brereton Diaz, Fernandes stepped up when his team needed him the most. He equalized from the penalty spot in the 61st minute after a foul on Harry Maguire, before scoring a stunning left-footed strike to put United in front.
Fernandes then turned provider, setting up Rasmus Hojlund to seal the victory for United. The win moved United into sixth place in the Premier League, keeping their hopes of European qualification alive.
On the other hand, Sheffield United’s relegation seems imminent as they sit at the bottom of the table with only 16 points from 34 games. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to overcome a determined United side led by Fernandes.
The victory was a much-needed boost for ten Hag and his team after facing criticism for their recent performances. The Dutch manager defended his team in the face of adversity and will be relieved to see them come out on top against Sheffield United.
Overall, it was a thrilling match that showcased Fernandes’ talent and leadership on the field. United will be hoping to build on this win as they look to finish the season strong and secure a spot in European competition.
