That's my Captain right there."

After joining the Red Devils back in 2020, Fernandes quickly won over the United fans with his passion and quality. Now, as the club captain, the Portuguese is one of the best players in the Old Trafford club's recent history.

Speaking after the match, United boss Ruben Amorim said: "In here and the sound of the last two goals were amazing, that is something we can keep for future.

"It was a good feeling but, in the end of the game, [if] you go to semi-finals, you need to win it. If you go to the semi-finals and you don't win it, it is the same feeling. We need to focus on next stage and try to win competition."
