'When I die!' - Bruno Fernandes claims he will only be 'much more relaxed' at end of his career as Man Utd take giant step towards Europa League final

United have been under a lot of pressure since the start of the year, as they made loads of signings to prepare for the current season. However, the Red Devils have flopped over the course of the last few months, and Fernandes has possibly been one of the few players who have endured all of that pressure and come out fighting.

Despite their struggles in the Premier League, Manchester United stand the chance of reaching the Europa League final following their 3-0 win in the first leg of their semi-final tie against Athletic Club. Fernandes has now opened up on the pressures of playing for the Red Devils and claimed that he can only relax once he retires from the sport.

Speaking to the media, Fernandes said: "Sporting is a massive club, but United is a global club. [It is] unbelievable the attention and pressure we get.

"I feel the pressure. That's the good thing about football, and that's what we have to enjoy. When I finish my career, that will go away, and I will be much more relaxed.

"When I die, I have a lot of time to lay down with myself!"

The United captain has now brought up his 27th goal contribution in the Europa League, joint-level on third with Romelu Lukaku. On the same, he said: "I knew I was around the 30s, but I didn't know how much exactly. It is a big part of my game, and I need to take that responsibility. The club bought me because I scored 32 goals in a season."
