Bruno Fernandes Shines as Man United Beats Watford

MANCHESTER, England (AP) Bruno Fernandes coolly rolled in a penalty for his first goal for Manchester United to set his new team on its way to a 3-0 win over relegation-threatened Watford in the Premier League on Sunday.

Anthony Martial also netted, for the third straight game, and teenager Mason Greenwood added a brilliant third goal as United climbed above Tottenham and Sheffield United into fifth in the standings. That is currently a Champions League qualification place following Manchester City's recent two-season ban from European competitions by UEFA.

Fernandes has slotted seamlessly into the United team since his January move from Sporting Lisbon.
