		</div><p>Bruno Fernandes believes Manchester United are developing a set-piece threat after becoming the last Premier League team to score from a corner this season.</p>
<p>Skipper Harry Maguire headed home from United’s 140th top-flight corner to put Ralf Rangnick’s side on their way to a 4-2 victory at Leeds on Sunday.</p>
<p>It ended an incredible run which England defender Maguire described as “embarrassing”, although Raphael Varane saw his effort from a free-kick disallowed in the 1-1 draw at Burnley earlier this month.</p>
<p>“It’s good to see,” Fernandes said of United’s first Premier League goal from a corner since April 2021.</p>
<p>“We are improving on that. We have scored against Burnley too, but unluckily for us the referee saw a foul there.</p>
<p>“(If we) keep on doing the right things, we will score more goals from set-pieces.</p>
<p>“But the main point is scoring goals. If it is from set-pieces or whatever it is, we have to score.”</p>
<p>Portugal playmaker Fernandes netted United’s second before half-time at Elland Road, the 49th of his Red Devils career since joining from Sporting Lisbon two years ago.</p>
<p>It was a victory which gave United a four-point advantage in the race for a top-four Champions League spot, although Arsenal, Tottenham and Wolves all have games in hand below them.</p>
<p>United were pulled back to 2-2 by Leeds before substitutes Fred and Anthony Elanga made decisive contributions, and Fernandes told MUTV: “That (2-0 lead) was probably the problem for us.</p>
<p>“We think we are in a great position and we started a little bit sloppy on the passes under pressure and they get away with two goals.</p>
<p>“Obviously I think the second one was a foul. When I passed the ball with my right foot he (Adam Forshaw) stamped on my left.</p>
<p>“But this is England. They said it’s English football and I have to get used to it, so it’s OK.</p>
<p>“Either way the most important thing was the reaction after. That reaction makes us win the game.”</p>
<p>Fernandes had special praise for United’s second-half scorers and Scott McTominay, who was involved in a relentless midfield battle on an Elland Road pitch saturated by incessant rain.</p>
<p>“Fred is a player that works very hard and doesn’t get a lot of praise,” Fernandes said.</p>
<p>“Him and Scott are two players who are really important for us in many games.</p>
<p>“I’m really happy for him and also for Anthony, who got his goal. He’s a kid that deserves that.</p>
<p>“The important point for us was understanding if we keep doing the right things, and taking the right decisions, we can win the game.</p>
<p>“Even if you concede goals you have to keep making the right decisions.”</p>
