'Am I even good enough to be here?' - Bruno Fernandes admits Man Utd squad were doubting themselves during scoreless run as Red Devils skipper tells Rasmus Hojlund he 'needs to score goals' after breaking Premier League duck

He also urged <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-happiest-man-alive-ending-man-utd-goal-drought-alejandro-garnacho-slams-people/blt70821ed262c8c348" target="_blank">match-winner Rasmus Hojlund</a> to build on his first Premier League goal after waiting 14 appearances to net for the first time.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"The belief has to be there, because if you don’t believe in each other it’s going to be difficult," Fernandes told Amazon Prime. "Obviously in these last moments there’s going to be some disbelief, even in yourself. You start to think: ‘Am I even good enough to be here?’ It’s normal when things are not going right. It’s the way you overcome that and get results even when things are not going well."

WHAT FERNANDES SAID

United went into the match after losing their 13th game of the season against West Ham on Saturday and without scoring in their previous four outings. The players were then booed off the pitch at half-time by the home supporters after Villa had taken a 2-0 lead. But United were a different beast in the second half and Alejandro Garnacho was the architect of their revival, which was completed by Hojlund. The £72m man had not scored in the Premier League and Fernandes admitted he expected more of the Denmark striker.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"We really need this. As a striker he needs to score goals. We want our strikers to have confidence to get more goals," Fernandes said on Hojlund. "He knows he’s going to have pressure; he plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world. You have to get used to that. I hope he has more to come because we really need him to score goals and every striker in the team."

FERNANDES ON HOJLUND

United had not scored a goal for 440 minutes until Garnacho struck in the second half. The Argentine became the youngest player (19 years and 178 days) to score two goals or more on Boxing Day in the Premier League, surpassing Michael Owen (20 years and 12 days against Newcastle in 1999).

DID YOU KNOW?

After winning for the first time in five matches in all competitions United will be looking to build on the momentum when they visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday. But the Tricky Trees are feeling the new manager bounce after thrashing Newcastle 3-1 away from home.
