Manchester United and Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes lauds his team after stunning victory over Manchester City.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was full of praise for his team following their FA Cup triumph over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

The Red Devils beat the Premier League champions 2-1 in the FA Cup final to take their revenge after suffering defeat with a similar scoreline in last season's final. 

What Bruno Fernandes said 

"It was the last chance to get something positive from the season. We were here last season and we weren't good enough and we had to see them go up and get the trophy,’ Bruno said, per the BBC

“They have great quality, great players, a great manager. We had to sacrifice and suffer but we did great things. I try my best to help the team.

"Kobbie Mainoo is really good, such a quality player and you can see 😁 the composure he had with the finish. He came through the academy, and once more, on the biggest stage in the world, he showed it again.”

“Congratulations to everyone, the staff, the players and all the fans; they have given us a big push - finally, we have something to celebrate.”
