Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has hit back at Roy Keane’s criticism, asserting that the team has “character” after coming from behind twice to beat Sheffield United 4-2 at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Fernandes’ double helped give the Red Devils a hard-fought victory, with the bottom-of-the-league visitors having taken leads either side of half-time. Erik ten Hag’s men responded through Harry Maguire and then captain Fernandes, who hammered home from the penalty spot and then unleashed a rocket with his left foot. Rasmus Hojlund’s late clincher secured the three points and earned the Red Devils a more comfortable win than in their FA Cup semi-final against Championship side Coventry. After Sunday’s dramatic victory via a penalty shootout, Keane claimed that he didn’t “see character” in United’s squad. Fernandes, however, refutes that, saying after beating Sheffield United: “At the end we came back. We put ourselves in a position where it’s tough to win games. But also it shows a bit of character.” United’s victory against Sheffield is a step in the right direction as they prepare to face another team batting relegation, Burnley, on Saturday.
