Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes performance vs Chelsea highlights what is to come according to supporters
After Manchester United grabbed a brilliant 2-0 victory away to Chelsea on Monday evening, new £47 million signing Bruno Fernandes caught the attention of many supporters who believed he was ‘magical‘ – with the Portuguese playmaker threatening consistently.
Fernandes, who signed for the Red Devils in January over a £47 million transfer, had a brilliant first half of the campaign for Sporting Lisbon – where he notched 15 goals and 14 assists in all Portuguese competitions (Transfermarkt). This fine form prompted United to pay top dollar for his services, with the 25-year-old since going on to impress against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
According to SofaScore, Fernandes amassed a 79% pass success rate whilst completing three key passes and hitting the woodwork once – potentially highlighting his continued presence as the game went on. Headed efforts from Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire sealed a crucial win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men who are now just three points off fourth spot in the Premier League table.
Here’s how supporters lauded their new acquisition on Twitter.
