It is the sign of a genuine charm that he keeps on delivering sorcery for his side in any event, when not playing at his best, and notwithstanding the noteworthy measurements, Fernandes is certainly not terminating on all chambers right now.
A tiresome timetable for Manchester United this season may have incurred significant damage however the splendid number ten actually creates more goals even if the schedule is hectic. He has now 58 goal associations in 69 games for United – a pace of creation that is best in class in the Premier League period.
We always say that he is never gonna slow down and sooner or later he will certainly break all possible records at United. If u know, he has already started doing so.
