Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes has opened up about what he told Jadon Sancho recently.

The English winger is back in training with United and was involved off the bench in the Carabao Cup semi final second leg against Nottingham Forest.

Fernandes heaped praise on Sancho when talking with reporters post-game, stating the winger can have a big impact on the rest of their season.

He stated, per Manchester Evening News: "He's been really good. As I said to him, it's great to have him back because we know he is a massive solution for us, as a starter, as someone to come and have great qualities to help the team.

"We all know the capacity that he has. He hasn't expressed it at his best yet, he's been at some moments really good. Obviously now he is back from a long period but we are really happy to have him back, as the same with Anthony Martial coming back from injury.

"Hopefully, Scott (McTominay) will be with us soon, we know Christian (Eriksen) will unfortunately be a bit longer but we are really happy for the team that it gets more and more players fit. Diogo (Dalot) is training also with us and will probably be fully fit really soon and that is really good because the manager has more options.

"And as we always said, it costs a lot to have a place in the first XI but that's good because we push ourselves to our best because we know with the bench today, they can come on, score and they can make a difference. And that is really important for us that everyone is at the same level, at the same focus, at the same passion and wants to achieve the same goals."
