Hargreaves explains how Fernandes is like Scholes

Our January signing from Sporting Lisbon has been a revelation throughout his eight appearances so far, impressively winning five Man-of-the-Match awards, scoring three goals and registering three assists. As you will know, the Reds are also unbeaten in each of those games across all competitions.

Fernandes enhanced his reputation as a fans’ favourite on Sunday by executing a genius chip, from which Anthony Martial opened the scoring in our 2-0 win over Manchester City. Hargreaves feels that moment of magic illustrates the relationships he has already formed as a Red.

Speaking in the latest episode of our Tunnel Insider series, Owen explains the impact that Bruno is making on the United squad and outlines how the Portuguese can be likened to our former no.
