Bruno Fernandes leads Manchester United to Istanbul Basaksehir win

Manchester United were accomplished in a victory that gives them nine points and firm control of Group H. Bruno Fernandes once more proved the key man in Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side, decorating the win with two goals in his latest dazzling all-round display.

The ascendancy enjoyed by United for most of the contest seemed to make the 2-1 defeat against the same opponents three weeks ago feel particularly odd until Deniz Turuc’s 75th-minute free-kick that squeezed past David de Gea. Edin Visca then hit the bar to remind United how carelessness can be costly. By the close, though, United were worthy victors and have now won their last three matches in all competitions.
