Bruno Fernandeshas explained his reasons for allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to take a penalty against
Arsenal.
United climbed to seventh place in last night's 3-2 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford, and Fernandes, who scored his side's first goal, had a chance to record a double. The Portuguese midfielder is happy that he has assigned one of his duties to his teammates and explained the reason for this.
Fernandes told
BBC Sport:
"We didn't have a chat. I missed the last one so I trust him in the same way I trust myself. It was time for Cristiano to take the penalty because I took the last one and missed it. It doesn’t matter who gets on the penalty."
Asked about Ralf Rangnick appointment, Fernandes said:
"Now is a new beginning and a new start. Everyone is looking forward to work with the new coach. When someone new comes in there are new opportunities. Everyone has the chance to get a position.
"Everyone has to work hard to get the chance to be in the first XI. We will meet him tomorrow and start working on the next game."
