Fernandes shrugs off Man Utd heroics after goal in Southampton win

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes was delighted to score in victory at Southampton.

With his 10th goal of the season, Fernandes maintained his remarkable statistics since joining United in January.

The £47million signing from Sporting Lisbon has now been involved in 36 goals in as many games for United – scoring 22 and providing 14 assists.

"I'm happy to help the team," Fernandes told MUTV. “And I'm happy because we win. Of course, every player wants to score.

“But the point now is to look out for each other. We need to keep winning because we want to be at the top of the table and we have to fight.

“I think the sacrifice we made in the second-half [against Southampton] and the way we ran and helped each other was fantastic.

“We played well in the first-half, but we conceded goals from set-plays and we'll work on that as we're not happy with that."
