Bruno Fernandes has always looked destined to shine in the midfield. However, when Manchester United first signed him, there was certainly doubt about his performance.
A fast rewind to almost a year since its acquisition, and the numbers say it all. Especially this season, the Portuguese maestro has seen extraordinary feats on a regular basis.
From scoring to helping to creating exceptional pieces of the game with his vision and addition, there is little discussion of his all-round impact.
As such, it’s no surprise that a certain explosion from the past worked rounds ahead of United’s EFL Cup clash with Everton.
The footage shows 18-year-old Fernandez doing what he knows best.

Fans were thrilled by the antics of the former sports star who certainly justified the hint of excellence expressed by the short video.
Further, in addition to his maneuvers on the field, Fernandes also showed an ace mentality, a hunger for victory, simply excellent, if not contagious.
However, there have been several cases where only he has failed to make the necessary appearances for United.
With United now seemingly focused on domestic fame, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and company may need to do special work to effectively divert attention to take advantage of Fernandes without burning him out.
In that respect, the antics of a certain 18-year-old are really promising.
