Manchester United will play Newcastle in the League Cup final later this month after defeating Nottingham Forest across two legs.
Fernandes was named MOTM.
Bruno Fernandes thinks Manchester United playing Newcastle in the final of the League Cup will be an “enjoyable watch”.
United last won a trophy in the Europa League in 2017 with Jose Mourinho in charge and Erik ten Hag has the opportunity to put an end to the club’s barren run in the League Cup final at Wembley against Newcastle on February 26.
The Reds defeated Nottingham Forest 5-0 on aggregate across two legs in the semi-final of the competition and they have the challenge of facing Newcastle, who have kept the most clean sheets in Europe’s top five leagues, later this month.
Newcastle did not win a game in the Premier League until December last season, but a Saudi-led takeover and the appointment of Eddie Howe have inspired a drastic change of fortunes, which has seen the North East side challenge for the top four.
Fernandes was asked about facing Newcastle on Wednesday night and he admitted it should be a brilliant spectacle.
“For us and Newcastle, it will be a big, big match, the chance to win a trophy, the first of the season,” Fernandes told MUTV.
“It’s a big final with two of the teams who are playing really good football in the Premier League, two teams that are in good form in the league and doing really well. Newcastle have probably been a surprise from last season, for what they are doing this season.
“They have been amazing, so I think it will be a pretty good final and enjoyable to watch. I hope more for us than for them.”
