Bruno Fernandes has revealed which player influenced the penalty technique that has helped make him Manchester United's all-time top spot-kick taker.

The Portuguese midfielder has etched his name into United's history books by successfully converting 36 of his first 40 penalty kicks for the club.

No other player has yet scored as many as 30 penalties for United, with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney second and third on the list with 28 and 27 respectively.

Fernandes has a remarkable coolness from the spot. Many assume that is due in part to the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo - scorer of 173 penalties from 204 efforts in his senior career and with whom Fernandes has been a team-mate at both club and international level during his career.
