After [Marcus Rashford](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) had netted a brace, the game begin to open up as the Foxes needed to chase it, which meant Erik ten Hag's side were enjoying plenty of opportunities, yet none that Weghost could take.

Bruno Fernandes has defended Manchester United teammate Wout Weghorst after Richard Keys claimed it was like United were 'playing with 10 men'.

It’s a matter of time until he gets his goals. "Sometimes it’s like this, you want the ball to go in and it’s a matter of time," he told MUTV. But Fernandes wasn't having any of it and instead opted to praise his teammate and said that he is still contributing to the overall play.

Harry Maguire wears the armband when he plays. Even some of the things he does that bothers Man United fans, and football fans alike, is more akin to a captain on the pitch. Instead of joining in with the celebration of a goal that he played a crucial part in, Fernandes gave Sancho a moment to soak in the atmosphere on his own, before joining in.
