Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has sent a two-word message to Bruno Fernandes after he scored the match-winner during Saturday's 3-2 win against Burnley.

‌

Josh Cullen's own goal gave the Reds a deserved lead at half-time, but their failure to take chances cost them as Lyle Foster levelled just after the break. Bryan Mbeumo immediately regained United's lead, but yet another Altay Bayindir error gifted Burnley a late equaliser through Jaiden Anthony.

‌

However, United somehow found a way to grab all three points. After Amad Diallo was brought down inside the box, Fernandes stepped up and converted from the penalty spot to secure the Reds their first win of the season.

‌

Following his stoppage-time strike, Fernandes took to Instagram to react to the win, simply posting a photo of him celebrating his goal. And moments after the midfielder posted, De Gea jumped to the comments section.

Ex-United 'keeper De Gea said: "Another one," alongside an eyes emoji.

De Gea and Fernandes spent three-and-a-half years together at Old Trafford.

‌

They made 100 appearances in the same United team and won one major piece of silverware, after winning the Carabao Cup in 2023.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford, now on loan at Barcelona, was among those to like Fernandes' post.

Speaking after the game, Ruben Amorim said: "It is three points, if you look at the game we should solve it in the first half and control the game - but we are fighting to the last minute because of things we overcomplicate.

"Look at the first half, we have so many chances to score. You feel you can control the game. But one throw-in, one set-piece. I shook my head, because sometimes football is like this.

"This was a game we had to win, but we have a lot to do.

‌

"It's really important but in the future we’ll find out. It’s three points. If you look at the game we should solve the game in the first half and control it. It’s never easy, we have to try to fight until the last minute.

"I think we overcomplicated it. For me, the most important thing is that no matter what happens, we try. Sometimes we play well, too open, too fast, losing possessions, but the effort is there."
