"That is why" - Bruno Fernandes lifts lid on Manchester United penalty success

Bruno Fernandes says his research and preparation are key reasons why he is so good at taking penalties for Manchester United.

The Portuguese playmaker was the standout performer for his side in their 3-2 comeback win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, netting from the spot to complete the impressive turnaround.

United showed great character to win the match, having fallen two goals down in the opening four minutes, with Christian Eriksen and Casemiro grabbing the other goals.

Fernandes kept his cool in the pivotal moment to score the eventual winner for his side, the 26th penalty he has successfully converted during his time at the club.

Speaking after the game, the United captain was quizzed on his phenomenal penalty record and why he is so deadly from 12-yards out.

"Yeah (I was confident)," he told MUTV after the win. "I have always the conversations with Craig (Mawson) about the penalties and with one of the goalkeeper coach. I always have a conversation with him; he shows me some videos of the goalkeeper on penalties and says what he thinks.

"I said to him what I think; sometimes I even speak with the keepers to understand, if it comes up in the moment of the game, what I have to do. Obviously, I do different things because it depends on the 'keeper, what I see on the videos, and the moment of the game. That is why."
