Man Utd fans spot Bruno Fernandes detail that proves 'how much pain he's playing through'

Manchester United supporters have spotted a detail that proves how much pain Bruno Fernandes is in during Wednesday's 4-2 win over Sheffield United.

Fernandes scored twice at Old Trafford to give United their first league win in five against the Premier League's bottom side.

Jayden Bogle gave the away side the lead following a mistake from goalkeeper Andre Onana before Harry Maguire's equaliser three minutes before halftime.

After the break, Ben Brereton Diaz restored the Blades' lead before Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot.

The United captain put his team ahead nine minutes from time with a long-range effort. He then turned provider for Rasmus Hojlund, who sealed all three points.

Fernandes has featured in all but two of United's games this season. He's proven to be durable during a challenging time for the club, although it's starting to take its toll.

Fans watched the 29-year-old celebrate Hojlund's goal and picked up on how worn out his body is.

Fernandes sported a bandage on his hand and kept it as far away from his teammates as possible.

@UtdFaithfuls on Twitter said: "I re-watched this video and noticed something about Bruno.

"See the way he's protecting his injured right hand and consciously avoiding any contact? Shows the pain he's feeling, but he played through it like it's nothing. What a player he is."

United sit sixth in the Premier League and are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.

Fernandes spoke about the character of United under Erik ten Hag in his post-match interview.

The Red Devils reached the FA Cup final over the weekend, although it came after throwing away a 3-0 lead to Championship outfit Coventry City.

He said: "We talk about clean sheets all the time and we want to keep them. Credit to Sheffield United. At the end we came back.

"We put ourselves in a position where it's tough to win games.

"But also it shows a bit of character. We also need to be aware that if we control the game like we did in the first half, we have to score our chances.

"We're scoring lots of goals. It's just about that compactness we need to have as a team. I'm really happy to score, but I want to win games more than score goals.

"It's part of my role also to score goals. But the main thing for me is winning games. Lately we haven't won as many as we should have. It's part of the job.

"You can win eight or nine games in a row, and then as soon as you lose you know you will be criticised. Being a Manchester United player demands winning games."
