United were under pressure to pick up all three points following Chelsea’s resounding win over Everton as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side looked to keep pace in the race for the top four.

Fernandes was at the heart of Manchester United’s attacks, winning the crucial free kick which he delicately lofted towards Anthony Martial who lashed home in the opening 30 minutes.

The Portuguese maintained his discipline as United snuffed out City danger throughout the second half before Scott McTominay doubled United’s lead in the dying seconds after a calamitous error from Ederson.

United are looking far stronger since Fernandes’ arrival, as Solskjaer’s side look to pose strong challenges in the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.
