Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was delighted to prove the matchwinner against Nottingham Forest.

Fernandes scored from the spot to earn United a 3-2 win.

He later said: "It wasn't the perfect start for us but we kept control, kept the ball and started doing the right things. They defended well with a lot of players and it was difficult to get through, but we got the result and that's the most important thing.

"I knew we had time to change the situation, but we kept calm. We started to keep the ball at the back and gain confidence, and after that the game was always on our side. We created a lot of shots in the first half. Overall, the performance was really good apart from those [first] four minutes.

"We know what it means to be a Manchester United player. We know this shirt demands a lot and we are ready for that. The team showed great spirit, passion and desire. We just need to be aware that we can't concede so early."
