Bruno Fernandes: Owen Hargreaves delivers huge verdict on United ace
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has hailed Bruno Fernandes following the hard-fought 1-0 Premier League win against Chelsea on Saturday. The Red Devils were eager to get the better of the Blues this weekend after dropping points against Leeds United earlier in the week.
United were third in the Premier League table ahead of the game, but needed to pick up all three points to keep fellow top-four contenders at bay. The English giants, however, were without Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez, who were both suspended for the match.
Long-time absentee Matthijs de Ligt remained sidelined, while the sudden injury to Leny Yoro left the team short of defenders. Having fielded Noussair Mazraoui alongside Ayden Heaven as the centre-back pairing, the Red Devils were under pressure at Stamford Bridge right from kick-off.
However, United’s mercurial skipper stood up to ensure that they secured all three points and remained in control of the top-four race.
