Bruno Fernandes was Manchester United's best player in the last 2 seasons despite his first visit to Old Trafford, the Portuguese midfielder only played in the second half of the season. Last season was a forgettable time for both the midfielder and Manchester United, but Bruno still managed 10 goals and 14 assists, not bad at the Premier League level.
A problem for the 28-year-old star is that he only plays well when scoring or occasionally providing assists. Every time he did not make an impression on the scoreboard, Bruno was commented to be quite vague, sometimes harmless. This season, there was a time when Bruno was doubted about adapting to Erik ten Hag's squad.
However, with the appearance of Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes was quite untied to play more freely in midfield. With Casemiro, Man United's vice-captain will have to play more defensively because this is not his forte. With all three Bruno - Casemiro - Eriksen, Manchester United do not know what they will lose to.
There are many opinions that the excellence of Casemiro and Eriksen has overshadowed Bruno's influence at Man United. Several names in the same cast, including Rodrigo Bentancur, Kai Havertz and James Maddison, have sparked controversy over the Manchester United star's absence.
If only considering the goals and assists, Bruno may not be able to surpass the achievements of last season and the time when he first arrived at Old Trafford. No longer on the sparkling stage of honoring goals, Bruno is now quietly and plays a solid pillar of foundation for the midfield and the "Red Devils" squad.
"When needed, Bruno had. When it's difficult, there's Bruno," is the most accurate description of Bruno Fernandes at the moment. The Portuguese midfielder can play in any position when assigned by Ten Hag. It felt like if he had been given the uncompromising goal like John O'Shea before, he would have agreed. Bruno is doing everything for Manchester United.
Bruno is no longer the only creative gate in the midfield, so the pressure has decreased a lot. Once his feet are no longer wearing a pencil, the Manchester United conductor will be free to create and create, from which classy moments will come more often. As long as Man United bring in a quality striker, Bruno Fernandes' indicators will be even better in the near future.
Receiving the title of "Best Player of the Match" of the Premier League 33 times since arriving at Old Trafford is a very proud achievement because no new M.U player has achieved that achievement in history.
Previously, Bruno was the most regularly praised player in the Red Devils squad, but in return, the team's performance was not good. Now, the acronyms used for the Portuguese midfielder have decreased, but his club has become increasingly popular. Bruno is willing to trade those individual compliments for Manchester United's revival.
Bruno may not be in the Premier League's typical squad this season, but he is certainly one of Manchester United's best stars.
