Fernandes' response It felt telling that the first player serenaded by the fans in the Stretford End after Manchester United had emerged from the tunnel was Bruno Fernandes.
The attacking midfielder has come in for some fierce criticism since Sunday but he was defended by Erik ten Hag and Marcus Rashford in the week and this was evidence of the high regard he's held in by supporters.
His first major contribution to the game came with the early goal but it was a result of what was actually a poor piece of play.
His attempted cross was badly under-hit but the block fell to Rashford, who did the rest brilliantly. He did earn his assist for Antony's goal, although in truth it was a simple pass and the goal owed more to a brilliant finish from the Brazilian.
