They’re really aggressive in pressing – Fernandes singles out three Man United stars

Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, has singled out three Red Devils stars, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial for praise.

Fernandes said Rashford, Sancho and Martial are really aggressive in pressing.

The Portugal international said this after Man United’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in a pre-season friendly tie on Tuesday.

Man United defeated Palace as Rashford, Sancho and Martial led Erik ten Hag’s attack in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has missed the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to ‘personal reasons’.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Fernandes implied that he, as well as Man United’s midfield in general, were far more effective with the trio upfront.

“The three guys up front [Sancho, Rashford and Martial] are really aggressive in the press,” Fernandes said.

“When they press, they make the last line squeeze and make the midfield come a little bit higher.”
