Mourinho takes swipe at Fernandes for Manchester United penalty record


The boss of Tottenham aimed for a subtle dig at a Portuguese fellow and the Red Devils after seeing another key decision on the weekend.

For his Manchester United penalty record, Jose Mourinho took a light-hearted swipe at Bruno Fernandes, joking that the midfielder "had about 20 to score" in the second half of the season.

United set a new record for the most penalties won by the Premier League in a single campaign when Anthony Martial was brought down in the box during a crunch clash with Leicester on Sunday.

Fernandes, who signed €55 million (£50m/$65m) in January, stepped up to convert the 2019-20 Red Devils' 14th spot-kick, setting them on their way to a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium.
