Bruno Fernandes received high praise from Paul Scholes for transforming Manchester United after his arrival in January.
Scholes thinks that Fernandes can have a similar impact as David Silva did in the recent success of ‘noisy neighbours’, Manchester City.
The former Red Devils midfielder said, “I don’t like talking about City, but you think of David Silva – that player that links all the play together, and I think we’ve found him in Fernandes. He’s totally transformed the team. It’s gone from watching a little bit of a dull team, to one player coming in and all of a sudden they look like they’re going to create, they look like they’re going to score goals every time he’s in possession of the ball.
“He’s fitted in straight away. Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra really struggled for the first six to eight months. I think they signed in January. It wasn’t until the season after when they really got used to it and picked up and went on to have really amazing careers. But this lad, he’s picked it up straight away, and it’s been a real benefit. I keep saying he’s transformed the team, but I really think he has.”
