KEY POINTS

  • Manchester United is aiming for a shot at the Champions League 
  • The club has been performing well lately with Bruno Fernandes dominating the field
  • Brighton recently fell to a 0-3 drubbing care of Manchester United 

The return of the games has featured Manchester United bouncing back as strong as ever in their matches. The global pandemic has given the opportunity for teams like the Red Devils to regroup to rally for a possible Champions League berth. One of the main reasons for their strong run is their star signing of Bruno Fernandes.

The coveted Portuguese player has been phenomenal ever since signing a big deal with Manchester United earlier this year. The 25-year-old has already proven in his young career that he’s capable to match up with the best. There’s no question that his talent is evident and he has the capability to take his game to the next level.

In their recent bought against Brighton, Fernandes showed how dominant he could be with the way he was moving around the pitch. No defense could slow him down with his elite dribbling skills and offensive arsenal. It was an 0-3 drubbing with two-time Footballer of the Year scoring twice in the matchup.

Throughout Fernandes’ career, he has developed as one of the more consistent performers of the sport. In just 13 appearances with Manchester United, he has already tallied six goals and four assists. In addition to this, he has also a total average of a 75.6% pass success rate.

With the current directive of Solskjaer to develop younger stars, Fernandes can further hone his skills under the historic club. Key players such as Paul Pogba are still in the lineup and can maximize his stay with the organization by developing great chemistry with the star player.

The remaining stretch of the season proves to be critical for Manchester United as they currently sit at fifth place in the Premier League. The Champions League berth is within reach but it will take a team effort of consistent wins from their end.

It will be interesting to see how the Old Trafford-based squad will perform in the coming weeks. The growth and development of a star like Fernandes are crucial when Solskjaer and the rest of the club are aiming to improve moving forward.
