, Man Utd ace Bruno Fernandes hits back after criticism over top six performances and blasts ‘I know when I play well’

The Manchester United midfielder, 26, is key to his side’s hopes of halting Manchester City’s 21-game winning streak today.

He said: “I know people expect Bruno to score or assist in every game because when I arrived, I was playing really well.

The midfielder added: “This is football. Football is in the moment.
