Ruben Amorim praised his hat-trick hero captain Bruno Fernandes after his starring role in Manchester United's win over Real Sociedad - but said frustrations from his desire to win stopped him from trusting his team-mates more.
Fernandes was the United lynchpin in the deeper role he has taken on under Amorim in their 4-1 second-leg win to seal a spot in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Beyond his second United hat-trick, the skipper drove his side on from midfield and could have easily had at least one assist to add to his goals with a number of fine chances created for his team-mates.
Amorim has previously said he needs his other players to show the same attitude as the captain but issued some gentle criticism after their European win, suggesting the 30-year-old must continue to trust his colleagues more even when he becomes frustrated with the team's performances.
