Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring with a powerful shot in the 7th minute and Kobbie Mainoo extended the lead for Manchester United only six minutes later, which made the fans think that it would be a comfortable game for the Red Devils, who started to suffer in the clash due to their own defensive mistakes.
