Bruno Fernandes equalises for Manchester United

Manchester United look to reignite their Premier League title hopes with a trip to the Hawthorns to take on Sam Allardyce’s struggling West Brom.
The Baggies are almost in need of a miracle to beat the drop and a return to the Championship, with 13 points separating themselves from Newcastle and safety following their 2-0 loss to Tottenham last time out. And Solskjaer is aware of the importance of taking all three points today as they approach an “important spell”: “Of course it’s an important game for us this weekend. It’s an important spell. It’s time now that every game you tick one off and there’s less and less possibility to catch up on points on the teams in front of you. That’s what we want to do. That’s what we’re here to do. Sunday’s a big one for us in that respect to get back on winning ways.
“The two points dropped against Everton was disappointing when it’s the last kick of the game. But we bounced back really well in the cup against West Ham. We’re through, we’re in the quarters and that was a good step in the right direction again, another clean sheet.”

Off the post! So close to the winner for Maguire. He attacks a cross and powers a header towards the top left corner. Johnstone might have got the slightest of touches on it to send the ball against the woodwork.

West Brom have everyone back now. A United corner almost drops for McTominay but it’s hacked clear before he can react. Fernandes then has a shot from distance but it’s a routine save for Johnstone.

Greenwood surges down the right, cuts inside from the byline and fires the ball across the six-yard box. It’’s helped on its way through by Johnstone, but no United players attack it.

Chance! Furlong whips a superb low cross into the box, perfectly into the path of Diagne. But the striker can only prod his finish over the bar from close range. He might have had a hat-trick today.

Fernandes opts not to shoot, instead clipping the free kick towards the back post. Maguire meets it, but he commits a foul as he jumps to head back across goal.
