Shades of Cristiano Ronaldo against Arsenal as Bruno Fernandes scores stunning breakaway goal in Manchester

We’re not sure what’s faster: Bruno Fernandes’ start to life at Manchester United, or their counter attack for his second goal in the 3-0 thrashing of Brighton. The January signing grabbed his fourth and fifth goal in just eight Premier League games as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men continued to look mightily impressive since the restart. Getty Images – Getty Fernandes has totally transformed Man United AFP or licensors This was surely Man United’s goal of the season so far? Mason Greenwood’s opener was well taken – a couple of sharp stepovers before a quick finish – and Fernandes doubled their lead courtesy of a heavy deflection. It was the third United goal which really caught the eye, and sparked memories of another man signed from Sporting Lisbon. Remember Cristiano Ronaldo’s breakaway goal against Arsenal at the Emirates during the 2009 Champions League quarter-finals? Well, it was a bit like that. 🎯 – The pass from Matic! 🔥 – The cross from Greenwood!💥 – The finish from Fernandes! One of Manchester United’s goals of the season…👌pic.twitter.com/stemylbKf8 — Sky Sports (@SkySports) June 30, 2020 Nemanja Matic released Greenwood with a stunning volley out wide, before the 18-year-old sprinted at the byline with electrifying pace. With three United forwards eating up the turf to get in the box, Greenwood picked out an inch-perfect cross for Fernandes to smash it home on the volley. The win means United remain undefeated since the restart and close to within two points of fourth-place Chelsea, who take on West Ham at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.

They dominated from the first minute and, for the first time in a while, showed some of that devastating, mouth-watering football the club are famous for. Meanwhile, Brighton, who barely arrived in the game until it was all-but over, remain six points above the drop zone.,
