Alejandro Garnacho sent an encouraging message to Bruno Fernandes after the Manchester United captain's missed penalty in Wednesday's 2-1 win at home to Chelsea.
Fernandes gave Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez a collector's item with a rare miss from the spot inside nine minutes at Old Trafford. Referee Chris Kavanagh initially missed the foul from Enzo Fernandez on Antony but awarded the penalty after a VAR check.
