The £55million Portuguese, 25, scored from the spot and set up two other goals as United moved closer to a top-four finish.

He said: “This is what I want to do and what I need to do.

“Everyone knows we want to get into the Champions League places. I am here to help the team conquer this place and keep winning games.”

He set up goals for Mason Greenwood and played a part in Anthony Martial’s crucial second which put this game to bed.

It left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men just three points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.

The United boss said: “A very good win, two good wins and two clean sheets, some goals to celebrate, now we want to kick on.

“I thought first half we started by gifting them some good opportunities and gradually we created more and more chances.

“Bruno Fernandes is quicker than he looks. Very excited by having him in. He has come in, given everyone a boost and wants to conduct a game. There are big games coming up now.

“The thing that matters in football is scoring goals and that is what Mason Greenwood does.”
