After changing the primary penalty, Fernandes gave the ball to Rashford, who made it 2-0. Criticising the transfer, United legend Wayne Rooney advised TNT Sports, “I think any club should have one penalty taker. I understand when a player is going through a tough period, but when it’s 1-0 it is risky.”
“The keepers study so much now, Jordan [Pickford] would have known his favourite way, but it is a game of cat and mouse. I used to practice and tell the goalkeepers what way. If I know them – I have scored past all of them – but it can be a bit more nervous,” he added.
Meanwhile, Fernandes defined the transfer to MUTV. “Obviously, as I said many times, we have more than one penalty-taker and we have a list in the dressing room. Marcus [Rashford] is the second name as a penalty taker and I am more than confident whenever Marcus steps up to take a penalty,” he stated.
“I am more than confident that he can have the same effect as me. I did score the first one but I felt that with the second one, we should have changed because it then moves the mind a little bit of the goalkeeper. He has to move differently, he has to adapt to a different kind of penalty-taker, so I think it was the best decision for the team in order to help us get another goal.
“It was not because I wasn’t confident I would score, because I was, but because I spoke to Marcus and asked him if he wanted to take it. He said: ‘I would be happy to take one’, so I said ‘go ahead’,” he additional added.
