Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes received praise on social media for his compassionate gesture towards struggling teammate Marcus Rashford on Sunday, November 26.
In a 3-0 victory over Everton, United took an early lead with an extraordinary bicycle kick from Alejandro Garnacho, who connected with a Diogo Dalot cross just three minutes into the match.
Despite Garnacho’s stunning goal, United faced challenges in creating clear-cut chances during the first half.
Everton’s main threat came from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who forced some impressive saves from goalkeeper Onana.
In the second half, United had the opportunity to extend their lead when former Red Devil Ashley Young was penalised for tripping Anthony Martial in the box.
While many anticipated Bruno Fernandes to take the penalty, the Portugal international surprised everyone by handing the spot-kick to Marcus Rashford.
Rashford successfully converted, marking only his second goal of the season.
Rashford, who has faced criticism for his recent form, especially in the Premier League, received support and recognition for his goal, with Fernandes’ selfless act garnering praise on social media.
