Man Utd fans left stunned at ‘filthy’ Bruno Fernandes assist as they say ‘KDB wishes he could play like that’
MANCHESTER UNITED fans hailed "filthy" Bruno Fernandes for his classy assist for Kobbie Mainoo.
The Red Devils skipper produced a moment of magic six minutes before half-time to fire his side 2-0 in front against rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Alejandro Garnacho - who capitalised on a defensive mix-up to put United in front on the half-hour mark - played a simple ball into Fernandes who had acres of space on the very edge of the box.
And with one, exquisite touch, the Portuguese playmaker made a first-time, no-look reverse pass to teenager Mainoo.
And the academy graduate, not picked up by Kyle Walker, opened his body to slot home in style, sparking wild scenes at Wembley.
Wayne Rooney, on punditry duties for BBC, labelled United's second as an "unbelievable goal".
