Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he was “frustrated” by Bruno Fernandes’ performance against Everton despite the midfielder scoring two goals at Goodison Park.
Manchester United entered Saturday’s clash with Carlo Ancelotti’s team in need of a result, having suffered back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir due to pressure on Solskjaer.
And Fernandes, a £ 68m signing from Sporting Lisbon last January, stepped up for the United manager, scoring two goals in the first half before giving Edinson Cavani an assist to seal a win for 3-1.
Despite the Portuguese returning to Manchester with the man of the match award, Solskjaer revealed that one area of Fernandes’ game did not appeal to him and asked for improvement.
‘Great performance. Of course, leading the guys, there is desire and determination. It is everywhere in the field! ‘he told MUTV.
“Sometimes that frustrates me, because sometimes passes are played where he should have been and he is not.
“But you know that when you have someone who drives them like this, of course you are very happy.”
The victory in Merseyside moves United up to 14th ahead of the remaining Premier League games this weekend, with high hopes that the Red Devils have turned the corner.
United captain Harry Maguire praised the efforts of his Portuguese teammate and praised the midfielder for responding to criticism about his performance in Turkey midweek.
“Bruno was excellent today,” said the English international. “ He was under a bit of a stick Wednesday night.
But he’s a great character, he’s a great leader, and he’s reacted brilliantly. And that’s just what it does.
“ He talks on the pitch and I’m delighted that he has a couple of goals, or whatever you want to call it, a goal and an assist. But he was brilliant and helped us to win. ”
