The Red Devils faced another embarrassing Premier League result as the Blades’ Jayden Bogle opened the scoring and Ben Brereton Diaz netted his team’s second after Harry Maguire‘s equaliser.

However, Fernandes took matters into his own hands as he scored twice within 20 minutes.

The playmaker also set up Rasmus Hojlund’s strike to seal the valuable three points five minutes before full-time.

What makes the Portugal international’s performance even more remarkable is the fact he was playing injured.

The ex-Sporting Lisbon star broke his hand during Sunday’s dramatic FA Cup semi-final against Coventry.

Fernandes hurt his right hand after a fall that occurred during the clash at Wembley.

United boss Erik ten Hag stated that the Portuguese ace was a doubt for the match against Sheffield United.

According to The Times, however, Fernandes insisted he wanted to fight through the pain and play for his team.

The United skipper went on to play the entire match for Ten Hag’s side.

Fernandes has received criticism this season due to his frequent outbursts on the pitch.

However, the attacking midfielder’s immense contribution this season is undeniable with 15 goals and 11 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.
