Manchester United: Fans buzz over Fred’s view on Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes told Fred to replicate Paul Scholes before his double against Club Brugge in the Europa League earlier this season, according to Esporte Interativo via @utdreport.
The Brazil international arguably struggled for form in his first season at Old Trafford but has been one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s best performers up until now (Metro).
Fernandes encouraged his teammate to follow in the footsteps of the famous club legend and watched as the midfielder went on to reap the rewards.
Speaking to the Brazilian television channel, Fred revealed “Bruno said ‘See? You have to do that. Enter the box and you’ll score’. Then I went and scored two goals in that game [vs Brugge]. That’s why Bruno celebrated a lot — I watched his [Scholes] videos and said ‘Man, what a great player’.”
Who is Manchester United's best signing in recent years?
Bruno Fernandes
Paul Pogba
Ever since he arrived at the Theatre of Dreams from Sporting Lisbon for £49.5m, the January signing has been a real revelation, scoring 2 goals and creating 3 assists in the Premier League so far. The Portuguese has also bagged a goal and an assist for Solskjaer’s side in three games in the European competition, taking 3.7 shots per game and making 3 key passes on average (via WhoScored).
Not only has he excelled on the pitch, but the midfield maestro has been a key influence in the dressing room, providing helpful advice to the likes of Fred and Scott McTominay.
Unsurprisingly, loads of United fans buzzed over the 27-year-old’s “class” comments on social media, with some supporters dubbing Fernandes a “gem” and a “true leader.” Another fan added he has an “elite mentality.”

Telling you now with Bruno and maguire being leaders and getting some younger players in and with them two rubbing off on the team we could be on our way back to how we were under fergie. Bit of a stretch but I’m praying we have finally found our old way back. Bruno is class
