Fernandes brace lifts Manchester United past Real Sociedad in show-stealing 9/10 performance

A brace from Bruno Fernandes and goals from Marcus Rashford and Daniel James gifted Manchester United a comfortable 4-0 win over Real Sociedad in Turin in a frenetic encounter in the Europa League round of 32 on Thursday.

United were always dangerous on the attack, but it was Fernandes, who scored his 32nd and 33rd goals for United, who starred. First, he seized on a comedic mix-up between in the Real Sociedad defence to score into an empty net to break the deadlock before combining neatly with James to slot home an impressive second.
