Bruno Fernandes played a sensational cross from the right-hand side and striker Benjamin Sesko outmuscled Crystal Palace defender Jaydee Canvot in the box.<\/p>\n

Sesko connected with Fernandes\u2019 pass and the 22-year-old striker headed the ball into the bottom right corner of Dean Henderson<\/a>\u2019s net in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Manchester United\u2019s 2-1 win over Palace<\/a>, Arsenal legend Ian Wright<\/a> feels that both Sesko and Fernandes equally impressed in their key link-up.<\/p>\n

Have you been convinced by Sesko like Carrick has? <\/p>\n

He’s in amazing form, but what else does he need to add?<\/p>\n

\u201cA brilliant goal,\u201d he said, as per the Premier League\u2019s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great cross, the one you\u2019d want for Benjamin Sesko. It\u2019s outside the box and [Palace] don\u2019t push up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s outside of [the defender\u2019s] eye line, and Benjamin Sesko gets across his man to finish. It\u2019s the ball you want into the box for the forward to decide the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dion Dublin feels that Bruno Fernandes\u2019 role was bigger than Benjamin Sesko\u2019s in Man Utd\u2019s winner against Crystal Palace<\/p>\n

Fernandes\u2019 latest exploits in Man Utd\u2019s result over Crystal Palace<\/a> carried on his scintillating run of form under Red Devils interim head coach Michael Carrick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Portugal and United midfielder has picked up five assists and scored twice in his last seven Premier League matches since Michael Carrick\u2019s Old Trafford return.<\/p>\n

Dion Dublin<\/a> insisted that Fernandes deeply impressed him with the precision of the cross that he delivered to pick out the marked Sesko in the Palace box on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is down to the captain, Bruno Fernandes, again,\u201d he said on BBC Radio 5 Live, as per BBC Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is demanding the ball and Sesko starts behind his defender; he gets across his defender and heads it with power and precision.\u201d<\/p>\n

United will now return to Premier League action on Wednesday evening and the Red Devils will visit St James\u2019 Park to face Newcastle for an 8:15pm kick-off in the UK.<\/p>\n
