Bruno Fernandes' message to Paul Pogba after Man United beat Palace to close gap on Chelsea

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes sent a message to midfield partner Paul Pogba following the Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.

Goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial handed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side a 2-0 triumph and a vital three points in the hunt for a top-four finish and the Champions League football that comes with it.

It wasn't the finest of performances from Fernandes and Pogba, who have attracted plenty of attention since the Premier League's resumption in June.

There was an eye-catching moment for Pogba though, who posted an image on social media of his aerial lunge to beat Andros Townsend to a ball.

After the match, Pogba put that picture onto Instagram along with the message: "3 important points, 2 more to games to go. Come on United!"

The picture seemed to amuse Fernandes, who replied: "Jackie Chan, it's you on the photo?" and referenced the Kung-Fu master.

United's next challenge is the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea, before their final two Premier League matches against West Ham and Leicester City.
