Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes drew entirely different conclusions over the performances of teenage pair Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho after the Red Devils cruised past Everton. Sunday\u2019s 3-0 victory over the Toffees was a fantastic advert for the United academy, with Mainoo excelling on his full Premier League debut while Garnacho scored a wondergoal.<\/p>\n
Mainoo started in midfield alongside fellow academy graduate Scott McTominay. The 18-year-old\u2019s development was stalled by a pre-season injury, but at full fitness he was excellent at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
Garnacho\u2019s incredible bicycle kick gave Erik ten Hag\u2019s side the lead. Marcus Rashford – another player who has come through the ranks at Old Trafford – scored a penalty before Anthony Martial rounded off a confident display.<\/p>\n
But midfielder Fernandes spoke in contrasting tones about the performances of United\u2019s two young stars. The Portugal star has previously been keen to keep Garnacho\u2019s feet on the floor, and did so again when conducting his media duties on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll give him a good note just for the goal. But that\u2019s because he knows I have big expectations for him,\u201d Fernandes said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not a great player yet, but he has a big future ahead. We expect a lot from him. He knows that, even more from me. I\u2019ll always be behind him asking for more. Amazing goal though.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old felt that the youngster deserved to be credited with being the game\u2019s best player, instead of Garnacho.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat game. For me, man of the match. A great performance and secure on the ball and never puts a foot wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is always ready to help, for his age he has too much quality. He sees the play before and did so many good things today he was secure on the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
