Bruno Fernandes steals the spotlight at Old Trafford as United stay in the race for a Champions League spot

MANCHESTER UNITED remain on the heels of fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League following a 3-0 win over Watford at Old Trafford.

Despite being second best for large parts of the game, the home side remained in the race for a Champions League place thanks to a first-half Bruno Fernandes penalty and second-half goals from Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.

Watford dominated for large parts but a lack of fishing in the final third was their downfall and they remain in the bottom three in the league but just a point from safety.
