The change of penalty takers was not discussed ahead of time, according to Fernandes, who tied the game at 1-1.

After missing his last attempt in United’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on September 25, the Portuguese midfielder admits he was delighted to hand up the ball to Ronaldo.

“We didn’t have a conversation.” I missed the previous one, so I trust him as much as I trust myself.

“It was time for Cristiano to take the penalty because I had missed the previous one.” “It doesn’t matter who takes the penalty,” Fernandes said after the game to BBC Sport.
