Man Utd: Solskjaer praises team following Watford win
When it comes to penalties, Manchester United have struggled this season. Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have all missed from 12 yards when given the opportunity to convert. But the way Bruno Fernandes kept his cool to give United a narrow win over Watford suggests that he may be the solution to their problems in that department.
Manchester United entered Sunday’s Premier League clash with Watford knowing they needed a win.
With Chelsea beating Tottenham 2-1 on Saturday, the pressure was on the Red Devils to pick up the points and boost their chances of playing in the Champions League next season.
And United did just that, with goals from Fernandes, Martial and Mason Greenwood making it a good afternoon at the office.
Fernandes was delighted to get his first goal, running towards the fans and screaming in ecstasy.
It was another good performance from the Portugal international, who continues to impress following his January arrival from the Sporting Lisbon.
And seeing him score from the penalty spot will no doubt delight supporters - and Solskjaer.
