Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes played a key role in the Reds' 2-1 fightback against Viktoria Plzen, noting the importance of the team's resilience.

"They [Viktoria Plzen] made a good pressure, they got the goal," the Portugal international told TNT Sports. "But the most important thing: we had the resilience, the fighting spirit, to come back.

"It was a good performance overall. Obviously, I think in the final third, we could have kept the ball a little more, but we knew the man marking from them was difficult to get away [from], so sometimes it was just a more pass and run, pass and run, to try and find the gaps.
