Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has demanded his manne win their Champions League Group H after cruising to a 4-1 victory over Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir.
In-form Bruno Fernandes scored an early brace on Tuesday night before handing Marcus Rashford penalty duty to give the Old Trafford hosts a 3-0 lead at the break. Dan James added a fourth after Deniz Turuc pulled one back.
The three points lifted three-time European Cup winners to nine points, three more than Paris St Germain and Leipzig after the French giants resurrected their campaign with a 1-0 win over the Germans.
With United set to meet both to conclude the group phase, Solskjaer wants a repeat of their earlier victories.
The Red Devils' 1999 Champions League title-winning hero says: “We need one more point to go through, but of course we want to be top of the group.
“That’s our aim, but we’ll take one game at a time and now it’s PSG coming here, so we’re looking forward to that one.”
After thumping a seventh-minute opener from the edge of the area and a pouncing on a goalkeeping error after 19 minutes, Fernandes explains why he passed up the chance to claim a hattrick by letting Rashford take the 35th-minute spotkick.
Having scored 12 of his 13 penalties since joining United in January, the Portuguese says: “Of course every player wants to do a hattrick.
“But after the game in the Premier League, I told ‘Rashy’ the next one he would take.
“I remembered that – and also because he’s one of the top scorers in the Champions League, I thought it would be important for him there to take that confidence.”
