Alan Shearer joins the list of those who believe that Manchester United is dependent on Bruno Fernandes. The english legend classifies the Portuguese signing as “essential” and considers that not playing yesterday at the start against Leicester City was a drag on his team, which was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup by 1-3.
In statements made to British television BBC Sports, the former English national team footballer expressed his opinion about the tactical arrangement that Solskjaer drew for the aforementioned match: “They seemed very tired to me. They couldn't stand the speed Leicester City showed, even with the substitutes coming in. They did not improve it. It was a very poor performance. “
The former striker is increasingly aware of the importance of Portuguese in the team. “Solskjaer tried to react, leaving some players out and trying others. One of them was Bruno Fernandes, and when he's not on the team, they don't seem to have that brilliance or someone to open the door. They stagnate without him, ”he added.
When the English team signed the maiato for 55 million euros, its market value (Transfermarkt) was 48. Today it is at 90 and his impact on the team is simply spectacular. Accumulate 16 goals in 29 Premier League games, with 10 assists. A real bargain.
