Bruno Fernandes sets UEL record with goal against Real Sociedad

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has once again stepped up when it matters most for the Red Devils after converting a first-half penalty at Old Trafford.



Ruben Amorim's men came into tonight's tie-deciding Europa League Round of 16 second-leg clash against Real Sociedad after their 1-1 draw away last week, but now have it all to play for thanks to their talismanic midfielder.

Fernandes converted his effort from 12 yards out in the 16th minute to match Mikel Oyarzabal's strike from the spot six minutes prior, keeping the tie level on aggregate at two-all.
