The two players shared spot-kick duties.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes explained why Marcus Rashford took the second penalty in a 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Fernandes scored the opener from the spot, before handing the England forward a chance to grab his sixth goal of the current campaign - having scored 30 in the previous season.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the victory, the Portuguese acknowledged that United need to keep up the pressure on the clubs above them if they want to land a top-four finish that brings with it Champions League football in the next season.

He said: "Obviously we know we have to win every game that we have ahead. We know our position in the league and it's not enough for us. We want to try and get into the spots for the Champions League. We know it's going to be tough and difficult but we have to win these games.

"We have to win every game. We didn't win against Fulham. That was not good enough. Then we go away to City and we don't win two games in a row. It gets tough. Aston Villa is doing really well, in moments Tottenham are being really good. It will be more difficult for us than them but we have to push."

Discussing Rashford’s penalty, he added: "We both kick the penalties. I asked Marcus if he wanted to take, and he said he was confident. He is one of the penalty takers that the manager chooses. I felt I had my one, Rashy could get his goal from the penalty."
