Bruno Fernandes has the quality to turn Manchester United into “the most relentless group in the Premier League”, as indicated by Nani.
Fernandes has demonstrated to be consistently getting paperwork done for United, the Portugal midfielder wowing with his performances since joining from Sporting CP a little more than a year prior. He has 40 goal involvement – 23 goals and 17 helps – in 41 Premier League appearances in front of Sunday’s derby confrontation with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
What’s more, Nani is enchanted to see his comrade sparkling at Old Trafford, with the ex-United and Sporting winger demanding Fernandes can help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side redesign City – if his partners can ascend to his level.
Nani said: “I’m so happy to see what he’s been doing at Man United. He has been a part of every goal of the team. He has been pushing the team to go get the results. When Bruno Fernandes doesn’t appear, you have Rashford, you have other players, they have quality, but you don’t see a player with the same attitude as him, with the same desire to go and make the same quality of passes. And if you don’t have Bruno, it’s very difficult to have another one. When they appear every time in these games, we will be the most unstoppable team in the Premier League. I’m so confident in that.”
Manchester United should disregard their new disquietude, which has seen them bear three goalless draws, with even Fernandes giving indications of exhaustion in Wednesday’s impasse at Crystal Palace.
It was the 24th match in which the 26-year-old finished an hour and a half for United yet the first occasion when he neglected to endeavor a shot at goal. He contrasts well and City’s man existing apart from everything else Gundogan with regards to innovativeness, with 10 assists to the German’s one.
It is, in any case, a tremendous assignment that countenances United this end of the week, with City unbeaten in 28 games in the whole season – one short of a club record.
