Fans Praise Bruno Fernandes as "Proper Captain" for Encouraging Rashford
Bruno Fernandes has been hailed as a 'proper captain' by fans after Manchester United's dramatic victory over Liverpool.
The Portuguese has faced questions over his suitability for the captaincy, with iconic former United captain Roy Keane insisting the 29-year-old is 'the opposite to what I would want in a captain'.
But Fernandes showed his leadership qualities during the frantic finale to Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final tie at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford had the chance to score a last-gasp winner but curled his effort past the post.
