Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hails United’s performance after 4-0 win against Real Sociedad
Manchester United blew apart Spanish opponents Real Sociedad in the first leg of Round of 32 in the Europa league. Manchester United won 4-0 with the goals coming from Bruno Fernandes, Rashford and Daniel James.
They have almost confirmed their qualification into the next round with the margin of victory away from home. The United boss was pleased with how the players reacted to a 1-1 recently against West Brom in the Premier league.
Bruno Fernandes’ leadership skills come to the fore once again
“We played well,” the United boss said. “We were more clinical in front of goal, of course, even though we had a few chances before we got the first one.
“But definitely when we got the second, the game opened up and we found ourselves in loads of space.”
Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best signings in last few years and proved his worth yet again for United. Bruno scored twice in the game but what stood out was his leadership skill when he urged his teammates to go over and celebrate with the substitutes who were training pitch-side.
“He always wants to do the next thing correctly,” Solskjaer said of Fernandes. “He wants to do the next thing at the best of his ability and that’s a good attribute and quality to have that he never rests on his laurels.
“If he scores two, he wants three. If he has an assist, he wants another one. He drives everyone on.”
“Of course sometimes he drives too much and he wants to do too much. I thought tonight he played his position well, we were in the spaces we wanted him and you can see how efficient he is.”
