The Man United duo combined brilliantly to produce the winning goal, with golascorer Fernandes handing praise to Evans for his assist.
Bruno Fernandes and Jonny Evans said Burnley’s tight defensive game forced Manchester United to go long-ball for the winning goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win.
Fernandes hailed the quality of Evans and knew he was capable of delivering such a precise pass. He told TNT Sports: “It was a great pass obviously. I know he has great qualities playing the ball in behind with both feet so I knew he could give this pass so I was waiting for him. The Northern Irishman said: “We were finding it hard to break them down and I was given a bit of time in their own half, so I thought just maybe try and stretch them a bit.
