Bruno Fernandes opens up on what Manchester United's dressing room think of Fred

Bruno Fernandes has admitted that 'everyone is happy' for Fred after he scored Manchester United's winner against Crystal Palace.

Ralf Rangnick took his first game in charge of United on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford as the Reds beat Palace 1-0 to move up to sixth in the Premier League table - it was also the first time that United have recorded a clean sheet at home since April.

United seized the initiative in the game and they looked bright but they couldn't find a way through Palace's lines of defence.

That was until the second half when unlikely scorer Fred swept home to expertly find the far corner from the edge of the box.

Fred's goal proved to be the matchwinner and Fernandes revealed that everyone was delighted for the Brazilian after the game.

"Overall it was a good performance from everyone," Fernandes admitted to Premier League Productions.

"We created a lot of chances and the result could be a little bit better for us, but we are happy because we got the three points.

"Fred has this kind of shot once per year. Everyone is happy for him because he’s such a nice guy and he’s one that works a lot and he's someone who most of the people don’t talk about. He deserves all the credit that he’s getting now."

United play BSC Young Boys in the Champions League next on Wednesday, December 8.
