Bruno Fernandes, the magnificent Portuguese player, single-handedly propelled Manchester United to victory against the Premier League’s weakest team, providing some relief for his manager. 

Without Fernandes’ brilliance, United’s position in the league could have been dire, potentially even facing relegation alongside Sheffield United. With an inspirational performance, Fernandes led his struggling team to their first league win in five matches, culminating in a remarkable long-range goal that secured the victory. Despite facing setbacks and falling behind twice against the opponent, Fernandes took control of the game and turned the tide in United’s favor. Supported by Harry Maguire’s contributions, including a crucial goal and drawing a penalty, Fernandes showcased his exceptional skills by scoring twice and setting up another goal. Even in the face of chaos, United’s victory remained secure thanks to Fernandes’ remarkable performance.

Andre Onana (3/10):

Got United off to a horrible start with his disastrous pass and his confidence was shot for the rest of the game.

Diogo Dalot (4/10):

Could have done more to prevent Bogle’s goal, although let down by Onana’s pass. Bungled a glorious chance by taking too long to shoot.

Casemiro (7/10):

Much improved on his rusty recent displays, making crunching tackles and reading the game well.

Harry Maguire (7/10):

An inspired performance against his boyhood club, causing a nuisance in the opposing box and defending his own comfortably.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6/10):

A comfortable performance to recover confidence after his woeful display against Coventry.

Christian Eriksen (5/10):

Used the ball well but not convincing without it, losing Brereton-Diaz for the Chilean’s goal and being beaten too easily in midfield.

Kobbie Mainoo (6/10):

Had many bright passages of play, taking on responsibility in attack as well as defensively.

Bruno Fernandes (9/10)

Talismanic, both in the way he inspired the team with his body language and in the way he raised his level, scoring a truly stunning goal with his weaker foot.

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):

Ran hard despite having to come off against Coventry. Set up Maguire’s goal but missed some good chances.

Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):

They held the ball up well and was unconvincing in front of the goal but kept believing and scored for the first time in two months.

Antony (4/10):

Slow, imprecise, and kept miscuing. It was another embarrassing display for the Brazilian after another week.
