Fernandes: Old Trafford was bouncing
Bruno Fernandes absolutely loved the Old Trafford atmosphere, as Manchester United beat Barcelona 2-1 to progress to the Europa League round of 16.
Our no.8 believes there is something special developing between this team and the fans, and was thrilled with the 4-3 aggregate success.
“They’ve been with us in the toughest moments,” he told BT Sport at full-time.
“This season, we’ve been really good because they’re always behind us, but this is something different, you can feel it between them and us.”

“It was a good game that we played today. We need to keep going, we have a final on Sunday [in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle United] and now we rest and change our [focus] to the final.”
The Reds looked a different proposition from the side who played the first half, and trailed to Robert Lewandowski's penalty, to the one that came out flying in the second.
Fred, who scored two minutes after the restart, gave us an insight into what changed our approach for the second 45 minutes.
