Man Utd matchwinner Fernandes: Aston Villa fans must hate me

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has joked that fans of Aston Villa must hate to see him.

The creative playmaker netted the only goal of a tight game against the Midlands club on Sunday

United beat Villa 1-0 at Old Trafford to strengthen their top four credentials with a handful of games to play.

"Obviously they probably don't like to play against me, but it is what it is, it's football," he told MUTV about celebrating in front of the Villa fans.

"I'm OK with that. They can enjoy the game in the way they want.

"I would prefer them to come and support their players instead, rather than to be focused on me. But if they think it's better to be focused on me, than their players, then it is OK. I don't mind at all."

He added: "It was a big win, but it is the same as always, three points. We can't get the points back from the last game against Tottenham that we should and we could have have a better result and get more points from that game. But we had to put our focus on this game and do our best to win and we did it and we get the three points today."
