'Veltman almost broke my ankle!' - Fernandes says he missed Rashford's goal after late tackle from Brighton star

Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes says he missed Marcus Rashford's goal against Brighton because Joel Veltman "almost broke my ankle".

United picked up a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday night, thanks to second-half goals from Rashford and Mason Greenwood.

Fernandes set Rashford up to score with a beautifully weighted pass, but claims he didn't see his team-mate's well-placed finish after being floored by a late tackle from Veltman - who wasn't even booked for the challenge.
