Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes surprisingly gave his Man of the Match to one of his Red Devils teammates after the win over Burnley.

The Red Devils got back to winning ways in the Premier League after Fernandes' first-half strike sealed a 1-0 win at Turf Moor on Saturday night.

The Portuguese midfielder was named Man of the Match after the encounter, but ended up giving the accolade to Jonny Evans, who made his first start of the season.

The veteran defender played over 80 minutes and got the lovely assist for Fernandes' goal, while he did have a goal ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the first half.

"It was a great pass from Jonny [Evans], " Fernandes told TNT Sports.

I know he has great qualities playing the ball in behind with both feet. I was waiting for it [the pass]. Burnley give space behind but it was tough to get that at times and we took the chance when it was there," he continued

"We know that we have been in a tough bit of momentum but we knew we could come back from it. 

"Obviously today the performance was not the best but we got the three points which is the most important thing."
