Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was delighted after their 3-2 victory against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

United came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the winner.

Fernandes said: "Obviously we were really happy for Rasmus to get that first [league] goal, but not only for him, the fact it made the score 3-2 as well because we need the three points. He needs to score goals, he is eager to do it.

"All we want is for our strikers to have enough confidence to score goals. Rasmus knows that he is going to have pressure, he plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world, he knows how it is playing for this club, you get a lot of attention so you need to get used to that.

"I hope not [that is is the best day of his life] because I hope there is more to come, we really need him and every striker in the team to score goals.

On the belief shown in the second half, he added: "The belief has to be there, because if you don't believe in each other then it is going to be really tough. In some moments you drop that belief in others or in yourself, you have those thoughts that you might not be good enough to be here, it is normal. When things aren't going right you always get those doubts, no matter how brave or confident you are."
