Man Utd midfielder Fernandes: Rashford has been unbelievable

Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes acknowledged the outstanding form of Marcus Rashford this season.

The Portuguese attacker was also at his best against Leicester City at the weekend.

After a 3-0 win, in which Fernandes got two assists and Rashford two goals, the Portuguese heaped praise on his English teammate.

“It's been unbelievable for us," he told the club website.

“Obviously, we want to enjoy his moment, carry on, because he's been really important for us, his goals have been a big part for us.

“Today, again, it was amazing, even sometimes when you can think he's a little bit out of the game, he can make his runs, he can go in behind, he can out-run people and score because he finishes really well, strong.

“We have to enjoy his moment and make sure that he carries this on because we have to serve him."

He then added on the fans: “It has to be [a fortress] because this place is amazing. The atmosphere that the fans create for us is unbelievable, we've been saying this for a while, even last season when the moment was not the best, they always stay behind, they always push us.

“So, we know how they appreciate the effort we do, we know this season how the belief is between everyone involved in the game; us, staff, fans and everyone.

“It's about carrying on the momentum because we know everyone that is coming here now is thinking in a different way than they thought in the last season."
