You don't play. »Everyone in the beginning was a bit like 'if a big player doesn't do what he wants, he will pull him apart or what?' «And he did it many times, he did it with Cristiano [Ronaldo], with Jadon [Sancho], with Marcus [Rashford] also. »Marcus did something wrong, and the manager just put him out and everyone was like 'wow'. «I was sitting with David [De Gea], and I said 'this has to be like this' because if not, the younger ones will think 'if he does nothing to him, next one he will do nothing to me too'. »So he demanded there from Rashy 'you have to be consistent in everything', not only in your game and your goals and your performance, but off the pitch also." Fernandes also said the biggest change in Rashford this season has been his «confidence» as the 24-goal forward has powered United's quest for silverware.
