There have been few Manchester United signings in recent years who have made as much of an impact as Bruno Fernandes has, with the Portuguese being named the clubs Player of the Month for the second time in a row.
The midfielder only arrived in January but has already contributed to seven goals in nine games, proving significant in big wins away at Chelsea and at home to Manchester City.
Supporters have unsurprisingly been full of praise for him as a result, as with each passing game it is becoming more obvious that Ed Woodward bringing him to the club is looking like an inspired decision.
It is a shame that the season’s suspension means Fernandes is unable to continue his brilliant current form, but that shouldn’t prevent him from helping the Red Devils in their bid to qualify for the Champions League if football does make a return.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves credit too for bedding the player in and playing to his strengths.
