Manchester United fans rejoice as Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba lead them to a 5-1 win over Leeds United
Manchester United fans had a day to remember thanks to Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba who led the club to a perfect start in the 2020/21 Premier League season.
The Portuguese sensation scored a hat-trick as the Red Devils put Marcelo Bielsa’s side to the sword at Old Trafford. The fans in attendance were treated to a glorious game of football where the Red Devils showed off their title credentials. If this was anything to go by, we will take some stopping this season.
Perhaps unexpectedly Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba were in the thick of things. The former netted a hat-trick while the latter notched up four assists.
It was one of the club’s best performances under Solskjaer and could hint at things to come this season. The fact that the result was achieved sans Edinson Cavani, Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Marcus Rashford speaks volumes. It promises to be an exciting season ahead.
Mason Greenwood and Fred also got themselves on the scoresheet later in the game. It will have done both of their confidence a world of good. United could not have asked for a better start to the season. Next up is Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux next Saturday.
We now take a look at how the United fans reacted to the result on Twitter.
