Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Bruno Fernandes’s dedication to perfecting his free-kick as the Portuguese star’s stunning strike earned Man Utd a thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool to reach the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday. 

Solskjaer handed Fernandes a rare rest from the start as United lead the EPL table. “Bruno stayed about 45 minutes after training yesterday, shooting free kicks. So I was confident he could score one if he got the chance. He’s never happy to go inside after training when he’s playing the next day,” said Solskjaer.
