Benjamin Sesko made a Bruno Fernandes prediction that came true as Manchester United took on Burnley in the Premier League.
Manchester United got their first win of the Premier League season at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Ruben Amorim’s side awarded a penalty late on, which gifted the Red Devils all three points.
As usual, it was Bruno Fernandes who was the hero, neatly dispatching the late penalty to avoid more misery around the club at the moment.

The club captain always does come up clutch, which is something new striker Benjamin Sesko realises.
Benjamin Sesko on Bruno Fernandes
Speaking to the Premier League, the Slovenian was asked which player for the Red Devils was most likely to score a goal when it mattered most. His answer? None other than Fernandes.
Sesko said, “I would say Bruno Fernandes. Let’s see.” Well, it didn’t take long.
Sesko hasn’t hit the ground running at Old Trafford, but anyone who has watched his performances for RB Leipzig knows the quality that the Slovenian possesses.
That said, he’ll be delighted his new club captain found the goods to bail his side out on Saturday.
Fernandes does score Man Utd goals when it matters most
The Portuguese Magnifico has a knack for a last-minute goal, like a lot of the best players do. Here are just a few examples when he’s been wearing a United shirt.
| Opponent | Competition | Time/Minute |
|---|---|---|
| Brighton | Premier League | 100′ (penalty) |
| Fulham | Premier League | 90+5′ |
| Rangers | Europa League | Stoppage time goal |
| Burnley | Premier League | 97′ (penalty) |
Fernandes has received scrutiny lately, with Amorim seemingly ‘forcing him in’ to his United side amid his desired formation, but Bruno always does come up trumps. Long may it continue for Red Devils fans.
