'Solskjaer has to kick me out of training!' - Fernandes reveals free kick preparation after stunner against Liverpool

Bruno Fernandes says hours of practice on the training ground has allowed him to perfect his free-kick technique, which paid off in stunning style in Manchester United’s FA Cup victory against Liverpool on Sunday.

Fernandes curled home a wonderful free-kick winner beyond Alisson from the edge of the penalty area on 78 minutes to send United through after a thrilling contest at Old Trafford.

Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford were also on target for the Red Devils, with a double from Mohamed Salah not enough for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

It is almost exactly a year since Fernandes joined United in a €55 million (£47m/$60m) deal from Sporting, with no Premier League player scoring more than the 28 goals he has scored in that time.
