Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes has revealed the inside joke he enjoys with teammates Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

The Portuguese superstar has revealed they share an inside joke that the two forwards "never" give him assists because "every time I pass to them, they never score."

Fernandes cited an example during the 6-2 win over Leeds where Martial failed to score after Fernandes had set him up, leading the midfielder to stare at him before breaking out in a grin.

Speaking to United's official website, Fernandes revealed: "With Marcus, there is always that kind of joke with him and Anto [Anthony Martial].

"I say to them every time I pass to them, they never score. They never give me assists. You see again that Anto missed that chance against Leeds.

"Straight away, I looked at him and started smiling. He understands what I mean with that. I think it's good, it's positive.

"Of course, sometimes you have to shout at your team-mate and call him to do different things, that's also a big part of the game, that you're pushing a bit more for the other team-mates.

"Sometimes it's with a smile, sometimes with other things, but the most important thing is understanding you're doing your best for the team."
