Bruno Fernandes is having a sensational season, with his recent form being season-saving for Manchester United.Often, over the past half-decade, fans have pondered what would happen if Bruno Fernandes wasn’t playing for the club. The club captain has rarely gotten his flowers for his performances, but he is now.
This season, we would dread to think of what a Fernandes-less Manchester United might look like, with the Portuguese Magnifico enjoying one of his best personal seasons, all while the team around him has struggled to adapt to Ruben Amorim.Fernandes is United’s top scorer this season, grabbing 16 goals and 16 assists in all competitions, as he has almost single-handedly led the club to the Europa League quarter-finals and saved what might have been a Premier League relegation scrap.
