Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes sent a message to Cole Palmer after the Chelsea star’s stunning performance against Wolverhampton. The Englishman scored a hat-trick in the first half to help them seal a 3-1 win at Molineux.

Taking to Instagram after the game, Palmer posted a few photos and a cheeky two-word caption: ‘just enjoy’. The Chelsea star had his comment section filled with fans and players, praising him for his performance on his 100th start for the club.

One comment that stood out was from Fernandez, who was heaping praise on the Englishman. The Manchester United captain wrote ‘What a player’ with a clapping emoji amid rumors that Palmer was looking to move back to Manchester.

The Chelsea star commented on the performance as well, saying that he was delighted to have got on the scoresheet and collected three points. He said (via Football365):

“It feels good to get three points and score some goals. It was a good one in difficult conditions today. As long as I can keep scoring hat-tricks, I’m happy. I think we did well in the first half. The second half was a bit flat, but, personally, it feels good to get back on the scoresheet. I don’t really pay attention to milestones, but when you see them, it’s nice.”

“I’ve never been injured before in my career. This is something new to me, and I’m still finding out how to deal with it. It has been frustrating, I don’t feel like I’ve played a game this season fully fit. I’ve been going into games thinking, ‘Can I do certain things? Can I not?’ Overthinking it.”

Cole Palmer has been dealing with injury issues since coming off in the first half against Manchester United earlier this season.

Reports earlier this season suggested that Cole Palmer was unhappy at Chelsea and was looking to move back to Manchester as he was ‘homesick’. Manchester United were reportedly looking to sign the Englishman, who has now dismissed the reports as ‘rubbish’ and said:

“Everyone loves to chat rubbish, don’t they? I don’t pay too much attention to it. You see things. But I feel like I’ve come from a strong place anyway, so I don’t pay attention to it.”

Manchester United and Chelsea are fighting for a top-4 place this season, with the Red Devils sitting in fourth, a point above the Blues after 25 matches.
