David de Gea and Bruno Fernandes send messages to Manchester United supporters

United beat Brentford 3-0, with Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Raphael Varane on the scoresheet.
The result consolidated United’s position in sixth place, amid a difficult season.

United’s players made reference to the difficult season, which is still not over. There are two away games remaining, and the players cannot rest up yet.
David de Gea was keen to get this message across, while he is also honest enough to say he is really just looking ahead to next season.
Fred and Anthony Elanga were among the players to also reach out to fans, along with his fellow Brazilian Alex Telles, who provided the assist for Raphael Varane’s goal. Cristiano Ronaldo had separately thanked supporters.
Nemanja Matic was playing in his final Manchester United home game, and in a typically understated way, left a short message on the team performance, rather than making it about him.
