Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes debut prediction against Wolves excites loads of supporters

According to a report from the Telegraph via MU Live, Manchester United signing Bruno Fernandes could be in line to face Wolves less than 48 hours after he put pen to paper – resulting in waves of Red Devils supporters rubbing their hands together over the news.

Fernandes, who signed a five-and-a-half-year contract at Old Trafford having moved from Sporting Lisbon to the tune of £47 million rising to £67.7 million with add-ons (BBC), is now expected make his debut against Wolves having only just moved to the Premier League less than two days ago.

The Portuguese playmaker was a high priority target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side all January (A Bola), with attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard’s position in the side now seemingly under threat. Compared to the Englishman, at least statistically, it’s no contest – with Fernandes registering 3.5 shots per game, 3.7 key passes and 1.8 dribbles over Lingard whilst playing for Sporting in the first half of the season, as per WhoScored.com.

As a result, these United supporters are celebrating the fact that the 25-year-old could start against Wolves in his first league outing for the club – here’s what they had to say on Twitter.
