Man Utd ace Fernandes: Obviously, Christian has been really good

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes praised midfield colleague Christian Eriksen.

The Dane set up Fernandes for United's only goal during a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace in midweek.

Despite not getting the three points, Fernandes wanted to showcase his appreciation for Eriksen's vision and passing ability.

“Obviously, Christian has been really good," he told club media.

“But I think everyone in the team has been really good.

“I think as we showed in the [first half], the goal was everything that we train, some movements, the way we play, the passes that we did. So that comes through and after, it's the quality of the players that makes the difference.

“Christian has the vision, has the quality to do the pass. He did it today and he will keep doing [it].

“But without the movement of Rashford, the movement of Wout [Weghorst] on the front post, it will not create the space for me behind.

“So I think it's a team performance, it's a team that makes individuals come through with showing good skills."
