Manchester United have done it once again, they’ve beaten Manchester City and coloured their city red for the second time in the league this campaign.
This is, of course, a huge statement win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who somehow seems to have Pep Guardiola’s number when it comes to those direct clashes in the big derbies.
And even though it was a brilliant team performance and the Red Devils had multiple excellent players on the pitch, James Ducker believes Bruno Fernandes is not given enough credit for his displays.
The journalist raved about Man United’s new signing on Twitter, calling him a leader in the process as well.
Easy to forget the amount of pressure and scrutiny on Bruno Fernandes when he arrived in late January. Taken it all in his stride. That was another leader’s performance from him today. And the free kick … #mufc #mcfc

The midfielder tallied one assist on the night but was also extremely present across the pitch, registering three key passes, three interceptions and one clearance as well (per SofaScore).
Ducker was also quick to suggest how easy it’s to forget all the pressure and scrutiny Fernandes received when he arrived in late January. But he seems to have answered his critics and then some.
