Speaking to

after their 2-1 victory, Man United captain Bruno Fernandes said:

"He has a lot of talent and his work rate together with the talent makes a big difference with us from the bench. It's not the first time he makes a big impact for us. We are really happy for him and know he can give us goals, assists and prove the joy of football.

"I think everyone is seeing signs that [he can go all the way]. Not because of his goals and assists but the way he comes into the game. Nobody likes to be on the bench so the attitude he has when he comes off has been fantastic. He deserves the chances he's been having and he's got his rewards. That's what football's about."

With the 2-1 away victory over Fulham, United stays fifth with 26 points, while Fulham sits ninth with 7 points less than their Sunday rivals.
