Bruno Fernandes, in the wake of Cristiano

Bruno Fernandes scored Machester United's second goal in the draw against Leicester on Saturday. That much also meant the tenth in the midfielder's private account in the 2020-21 Premier League. This figure has a special meaning, since It means reaching a mark that no Portuguese player had reached in an English league edition since Cristiano left Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandes came to Manchester United in the last winter market, from Sporting de Portugal, and since then he has become the benchmark of the English team. Last season he scored eight goals in 14 games and this season he has also scored 10 in 14 Premier League games. In total, the Portuguese international has 26 goals in 43 games for the Red Devils.

The great performance shown by Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United has made him one of the great stars of the Premier League. United took over his services by beating Barcelona, ​​who also pushed hard for his signing for the season, but his financial problems prevented him from carrying out the operation at that time. The Barça club proposed to Sporting de Portugal to postpone the transfer to this season, but United took advantage of this circumstance to achieve the signing of what is today their best footballer.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised Bruno Fernandes after the draw against Leicester. “He is a player who influences results, creates opportunities and scores goals. Bruno takes advantage of opportunities, something every Manchester United player should feel confident enough to do. And he is, without a doubt, a brave boy, “said the coach in statements to Manchester United television.

However, Solskjaer confesses that the risks that the Portuguese runs sometimes make him nervous: “He always sees the best pass to make and when to do it. Sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out and yelling on the field that he has easier passes that I could do, but that's something I can't do to a player like Bruno. I want it to be a key element and to have players ahead running and with chances to score. He is always cheering and supporting his teammates “.
