Bruno Fernandes’ reason for Handing over a Penalty Kick to Marcus Rashford

DBasia.news – Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, revealed the reason for giving Marcus Rashford a penalty. This has also been discussed previously to Rashford.

Bruno Fernandes was the star of Manchester United’s victory against Istanbul Basaksehir on matchday 4 of Group H of the 2020-2021 Champions League, at Old Trafford Stadium. The Portugal international player scored twice in the 4-1 win.

Bruno Fernandes gave Manchester United a two-goal lead in less than the first 20 minutes. He scored a goal in the 7th minute and 19th minute. In fact, the incision could increase if Fernandes advanced as the executor of the penalty in the 35th minute. However, Fernandes let Rashford take the 12 kick.

In fact, Bruno Fernandes is Man United’s main penalty executioner. In the last match against West Brom, Fernandes scored from the spot.

“After the match in the Premier League, I told Rashford if he would take the penalty in the next game. So, I remember that and he is also one of the top scorers in the Champions League. It is important for Rashford to maintain confidence,” Fernandes told BT Sports.

“It doesn’t matter who takes the penalty as long as the team scores the goals,” continued the midfielder.

Manchester United was conceded through Deniz Turuc’s free kick in the 75th minute. However, Daniel James’s goal near the end of the match made Man United win 4-1.

“I think we played well. We started the match with the right mantality. The first half was important to get the three points today,” explained Fernandes.

Despite being at the top of the standings, Manchester United’s position is not safe. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad can still be pursued by Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig.

“We are in a good position, but cannot relax. We have to think about the Premier League at the moment and win the game on Sunday. We don’t have much time to think about the next game.”
