Like what it is sometimes enough to return to basic: buy a real football player, technical, collective and inspired. By putting 60 million francs on the table at the end of January to buy Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United hoped to have recruited a real playmaker. The man capable of making people forget the fiasco Paul Pogba in the long term. But the Mancunian leaders did not expect to be filled so quickly. In just one month and six matches, the Portuguese midfielder has already racked up three goals and two assists. Stats that could not tell more about his tremendous influence on the play of the Red Devils.

“He scores, creates opportunities for himself and the others, dropped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday after the draw at Everton (1-1). This afternoon, he was watched very closely in the second half, they gave him preferential treatment. And yet, he still almost offered us the decisive goal at the end of the match. This is the type of player who can be dangerous all the time in the opponent’s 30 yards. And in addition, he improves his teammates. First by his enthusiasm in training, he always wants the ball. Then, by his smile which does everyone good. ”

A smile that would not interest anyone if the former master of playing Sporting – 28 goals in six months before his transfer! – was not above all a great technician at the service of the collective; which Paul Pogba was no longer really. The nuance has not escaped Rio Ferdinand, who knows a ray about exceptional players and their pride.

“It is still a little early to say that it is the solution to everything. But Bruno Fernandes is a breath of fresh air. We can see right away that he loves football and wants to play, to play, without any kind of vanity, describes the former defender on his Youtube channel. He has everything of the player who improves his neighbor. Its impact can be enormous. We see it for example with Juan Mata, who seems to have finally found a preferential technical relationship. ” Probably because the two Iberian cousins speak the same football, this creative game that had deserted Old Trafford for too long.
Finally, in order not to spoil his talent, Bruno Fernandes arrived in England in an Olympic form. According to the Daily Mail, which quotes a member of staff, MU had in fact concocted a program of physical leveling to him to allow him to acclimatize to the intensity of the Premier League. He was quickly thrown in the trash, the staff admitting “amazed” by his state of form. This is rather reassuring as the Red Devils attack a decisive week with an 8th Cup final against Derby County by Wayne Rooney before hosting City, Sunday, for the Manchester derby.
