Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag highlighted Bruno Fernandes' decision to give Marcus Rashford his penalty during their win at Everton.

Rashford converted United's second goal of their 3-0 triumph with Fernandes making the gesture in an effort to lift his teammate's confidence.

Ten Hag said: "You saw how great a captain Bruno is. He could see, feel, assess that his team-mate needed that goal.

"Also he had the confidence in Rashy to take the penalty because he knows he is a very good penalty taker. 'Take that ball and take your confidence.' As a team, you need that.

"You need such leadership and you back each other, you cover each other and you give each other the confidence because you know you need it to get a successful season."
