Bruno Fernandes made Robbie Savage eat his words on Wednesday, when Manchester United took on Galatasaray in a fiery Champions League goal-fest. The Red Devils captain’s lung-busting run prompted the TNT Sports pundit to sing his praises, but both were left embarrassed when the Turkish giants netted moments later.<\/p>\n
On a rain-soaked pitch, in front of a revved-up crowd, United built on Sunday’s 3-0 win over Everton by going two goals to the good against Galatasaray. As he did at Goodison Park, Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring, albeit in less spectacular fashion than he managed on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
Fernandes then unleashed a long-range thunderbolt to double United’s lead, and the Portuguese used his surge of adrenaline to maintain a ferocious work rate.<\/p>\n
It got the better of him inside the first half an hour, however, when he raced back towards his own box to commit a foul in a dangerous area.<\/p>\n
