Why Bruno Fernandes wants Martial to visit his BARBER before matches

Manchester United’s stand-in captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed why he wants to see Anthony Martial visit his barber before every match.

Fernandes made the comment moments after the Red Devils returned to winning ways against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

The Portuguese said he knew Martial would score before the game as United defeated the visitors 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United’s hard-fought win over Wolves came courtesy of goals from Martial and wunderkind Alejandro Garnacho, who came off the bench to netted the decisive win in stoppage time.

Following the win, Fernandes spoke to United’s in-house television where he stated that he knew the 27-year-old Frenchman would score in the all-important clash.

"I knew he [Martial] was going to score today because he had his haircut with our barber,” Fernandes said, according to Fotmob.

“Every time he gets his haircut with him, he gets his goal. So, I will call him [the barber] every time now to go the day before the game to cut his hair because we need this Anthony.”

“We need the Anthony that scores goals, that gives us a lot of quality on the ball and creates a lot of space for others,’’ he added.

Speaking on the win over Wolves and Garnacho’s important winner, the 28-year-old added;

“I’m really pleased for his goal and also for seeing [Alejandro] Garnacho getting back to the games and getting his goal too.

“We did our job properly, and that’s why we got the three points. They [Wolves] are a really smart team, they defend really well. They are compact, it’s difficult to go through their lines. They have quality on the ball.”
