Bruno Fernandes decisive in United’s comeback over Sheffield :: zerozero.pt

After reaching the FA Cup final, Manchester United were happy again, this time in the Premier League. Even so, the Red Devils had to suffer to beat Sheffield United (4-2), in a match in which Bruno Fernandes played a prominent role.

Despite arriving at this match fueled by the victory over Coventry, United started to lose in this Wednesday’s match, after Jayden Bogle took advantage of a bad pass from Onana to open the scoring. Still, Maguire managed to restore equality before the break.

To open the second half, Ben Brereton completed a great collective move by Sheffield United, before the Bruno Fernandes’ genius comes into action.

At the 61st minute, the number 8 shot from the penalty spot, and, 20 minutes later, the Portuguese international delivered a powerful left-footed shot to turn things around in favor of the home team.

In a game in which Diogo Dalot also started, Bruno Fernandes was still not satisfied and, within the final five minutes, provided the assist that allowed Rasmus Højlund to return to scoring.

With this result, Manchester United is in sixth place, while Sheffield United remains in last place in the league table.
