Bruno Fernandes: I would have scored if there was a penalty

The Portuguese midfielder has confirmed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decides who will take the penalty kick before each game.

Bruno Fernandes missed a shocking penalty in the Aston Villa match they played on Wednesday. Despite this, the Portuguese player said in a statement after Manchester United's 2-1 win over Villarreal: "If there was a penalty in the Villarreal game, I would have taken the penalty."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have given Bruno Fernandes a chance if there had been a penalty in the Villarreal match. The Norwegian manager thus showed once again that he trusts his player in the penalty shoot-out.

The Portuguese player failed to evaluate the penalty kick in the last minutes of the match against Aston Villa on September 25. After Fernandes missed the penalty, it was rumored that Solskjaer's penalty taker was now Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the Norwegian manager will determine who will take the penalty before each match, so Manchester United's penalty kick will vary from match to match.

Manchester United's Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who managed to beat Villarreal with Ronaldo's goal in the last seconds, spoke to CBS Sports after the match. "If there was a penalty tonight, I would have taken it, but unfortunately it was not a penalty," Fernandes said after the match.

Fernandes stated that Solskjaer will decide who will take the penalties.
