Bruno Fernandes reveals funny reason he knew Anthony Martial would score against Wolves

Bruno Fernandes has revealed that he knew Anthony Martial would score against Wolves because the Frenchman had his haircut before the game.

The Red Devils secured a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford on Saturday, with goals from Martial and Alejandro Garnacho proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Speaking to MUTV after the game, the Manchester United captain explained: "I knew he [Martial] was going to score today because he had his haircut with our barber. Every time he gets his haircut with him, he gets his goal.

“So, I will call him [the barber] every time now to go the day before the game to cut his hair because we need this Anthony. We need the Anthony that scores goals, that gives us a lot of quality on the ball and creates a lot of space for others.

“So, I’m really pleased for his goal and also for seeing [Alejandro] Garnacho getting back to the games and getting his goal too," Fernandes added.

Reflecting on the match against Wolves, the 28-year-old emphasised the team's determination, and ability, to execute Erik ten Hag's gameplan on the day, saying:

“We did our job properly, and that’s why we got the three points. They [Wolves] are a really smart team, they defend really well. They are compact, it’s difficult to go through their lines. They have quality on the ball.

“They have players with pace up front and they are really good technically, so we had to be aware of the counters, we had to be aware when they had the ball, we had to have the right press on them. So, I think we did really well, [it was] a professional performance and that’s why we get the points.”
