Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes has revealed he spent the last minutes of their recent game trying to help a teammate.
Fernandes was involved in the team's 4-2 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday.
He scored two and provided an assist, but wanted to set up debutant Ethan Wheatley as well.
“I think at the end of the game I got a little too erratic to give him (Wheatley) a goal because, like I said, he's a young kid coming through the academy and I know the moment is massive for him," Fernandes told MUTV.
“Getting a goal in his first appearance would have been massive. I couldn't give the assist, but I tried and at moments rushed it a little bit too much."
“It's probably an amazing feeling for (Wheatley)," Fernandes added.
“I've been a kid myself, although I didn't come through an academy to play for the first team like he's doing.
“He should be really proud, I hope he had family and friends here today to see it because it's a moment not to forget. It's something he'll always remember.
“Many of them (the young players) have been on the bench and they still haven't had their chance, so if he plays today, it's because the manager has trust in him.
“And even the other ones who are on the bench, we all trust them, we all think they have the qualities to come on, even play in the first XI to give us help."
