Portugal’s Bruno Fernandes has spoken of the winning mentality which has seen him become one of the best midfielders in Europe, and talisman for Manchester United after just a year with the club.

Fernandes’ hero status at Old Trafford grew on Sunday after he came off the bench to score the winning goal as United beat arch-rivals Liverpool 3-2 in the FA Cup. Fernandes’ superb free-kick was his 28^th goal from just 51 appearances since his move from Sporting last January.

Bruno Fernandes scored one of the most important goals of his Manchester United career on Sunday, as the midfielder reaches almost a year at Old Trafford. Fernandes came off the bench to net a superb free-kick winner as the Red Devils beat fierce rivals Liverpool during an FA Cup weekend on which Vitinha opened his Wolves account with a sensational long-range effort.

Elsewhere, Joao Felix scored his first La Liga goal since November in Atletico Madrid’s victory over Valencia in Spain, while André Silva continues to enjoy arguably the most prolific season of his career in Germany. In Greece, Vieirinha was the saviour for PAOK and Bruma keeps scoring for Olympiacos, while there was a Portuguese hat-trick in Switzerland and further strikes in Spain and Romania.

Former Portugal midfielder Paulo Sousa has been confirmed as the new manager of the Poland national team to take the country into the summer’s delayed European Championships.

Meanwhile, Ricardo Sá Pinto has wasted little time finding a new job after leaving Vasco da Gama, with the well-travelled coach appointed by Turkish high-flyers Gaziantep.

Cristiano Ronaldo reached the much-anticipated 760-goal mark on Wednesday night as Juventus won the Italian Supercup with a 2-0 victory over Napoli at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia.

Ronaldo’s goal is regarded by some to have seen him become the all-time highest goalscorer in the history of football, but one statistic which is indisputable is the Portugal captain’s tally of 31 career trophies after his latest medal.
