United saw off winless West Brom 1-0 to make their first home Premier League win of the campaign.
Bruno Fernandes was eliminated to beat West Brom however understands Manchester United should do far better moving forwards.
Having started the Premier League campaign with 4 winless matches at Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men lastly tasted triumph on home soil on Saturday night.
Fernandes was associated with penalty drama at both ends against Slaven Bilic’s Baggies, with his second-half spot- kick enough to seal a narrow 1-0 win against the promoted visitors.

“It was a tough game,” the Portuguese midfielder stated. “They played truly good football– they are difficult in the back, they are strong.
” I think we can do far better in the final 3rd. We need to do far better. I think everybody feels the very same.
” The efficiency was good, however I think we can do far better and everybody concurs with this.
” I do not think we need to develop from here. We are developing from the start. You develop from the lossesalso Naturally, you do not wish to lose– a team like this, a club like this, does not need to lose to develop something essential.
“But it’s there. We did the mistakes, and now the point is to keep going and doing the right things and, most important, take the three points.”
Fernandes was two times conserved by the intervention of the video assistant referee.
The 26-year-old handed out a penalty at the start of the second half, only for referee David Coote to reverse his decision after being recommended to watch back the obstacle on Conor Gallagher.

Fernandes promptly had his own possibility from the spot after Darnell Furlong dealt with, however former United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone rejected him with a great conserve.
Nevertheless, the VAR bought the penalty to be retaken as the West Brom goalkeeper had actually strayed off his line and the midfielder made no error with his second effort.
“I have to score,” Fernandes informed MUTV. “If he comes out of his line or not, for me, it does not matter. I need toscore I need to have one possibility and put the ball in.
” I take the second possibility and I’m not delighted, at all, due to the fact that you can’t have 2 opportunities, possibly in some cases. Today you have, however possibly other times you will not have this sort of situation.

“But this happens against us in the home game against Crystal Palace when David (De Gea) saved, and after they score, so I think the rules are there.”
Johnstone was irritated by the retaken penalty and the fact the Baggies once again came away with absolutely nothing, with West Brom having failed to win any of their opening 9 league matches for the first time since 1985-86.
“We played well,” the former United goalkeeper stated. “The lads are gutted and we were under pressure for a few of the game, however still produced good opportunities.

” I made a couple of conserves and to not even get a point is truly aggravating however ideally we can take the work-rate from the Tottenham game, tonight and after that ideally the results start swaying our way.
” You do not truly wish to face one penalty, 2 is aggravating however it’s a new guideline so it’s tough.
“We rode our luck at times but we hit the crossbar, had a couple of good chances and I think a point would’ve been fair.”
