Fernandes on Man Utd derby win: Now you see a proper team playing for each other

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes hailed the manner of their victory over Manchester City.

Fernandes scored in the 2-1 win.

He said: "It's always important to win a game. As the manager said it doesn't matter who the opponents are. Amazing comeback.

"I said before the game we look like a team now. Some time ago sometimes each one of us was looking for ourselves. Now you see a proper team playing for each other."

On the equaliser, he insisted: "Because I was facing goal Marcus saw I was in a better position. I didn't know if either of us were offside or not. The only one [defender] close was close to me."

On being one point behind City, Fernandes added: "That doesn't matter for us. We have to look forward to the next game. If you don't keep winnng they'll go [City will go more points clear]. We'll celebrate a big win but from tomorrow our focus has to be on the next game."
