Sports Desk, Aug 14 (EFE).- Bruno Fernandes on Saturday scored a hat-trick and Paul Pogba bagged four assists to fire Manchester United to a 5-1 win over Leeds United in their 2021-2022 Premier League opener.

The Portuguese midfielder broke the deadlock at the half-hour mark when he controlled a pass from the Frenchman and fired it home on a left-foot close-range shot.

Three minutes into the second half, English defender Luke Ayling tied the score with a powerful shot from outside the area.

The Portuguese player completed his hat-trick assisted by a long pass from Sweden defender Victor Lindelöf.

Brazilian midfielder Fred rounded off the Red Devils’ win in the 68th minute by connecting a low cross from Pogba. EFE
