Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes admitted relief after their FA Cup win at Newport County.

United were pushed all the way before winning 4-2.

Fernandes said: "Obviously it was not the result that we wanted, we got the win that we wanted but the result was not the perfect one for us. We didn't want to concede goals, the first one was great from them, an unbelievable shot. We had chances to make the 3-0 but when you get 2-0 in these type of games everyone wanted to score and get their goal and everything and sometimes we don't get the best decision for the team. I think after we did a great job to close the game.

"We have to understand that the FA Cup is our chance to win a trophy and we have to give everything to get into the final step by step, game by game but we know that to make the season look not as bad as it has been, we have to try to win this trophy because it is important for us, we have been in the final last year, unfortunately we did not get the trophy.

"We know how much the FA Cup means for our fans, our club, for the country so we know how important it is and it's important for us too. We want to get into the final and win."

On his goal, he said: "It was a good goal but we trained on it in the week. We knew that we had spaces with the cutback, Kobbie Mainoo's goal was the same. We knew we could attack and overrun their midfield, we had space for the cutback and I think it resulted well."
