Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim lavished praise on skipper Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder netted both goals in a 2-1 pre-season victory over West Ham United at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Fernandes, 30, was the Red Devils’s best player last season, notching up 19 goals and 19 assists in 57 matches across all competitions. He showcased his pedigree once again on Saturday, albeit with some help from West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Fernandes opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute, calmly sending Areola the wrong way after the Frenchman needlessly shoved Ayden Heaven to the ground upon losing possession.
