Bruno Fernandes will come back out of his 'shell' now Cristiano Ronaldo has left Manchester United, claims Tim Howard, while Robbie Mustoe believes young players will 'thrive' because they don't have the 'pressure' of playing with him

NBC Sports analyst and former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard believes Bruno Fernandes will flourish for Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo very much in the rearview mirror.

The Red Devils took care of Nottingham Forest 3-0 at Old Trafford in their first game since the Portuguese superstar left by 'mutual consent' in the aftermath of a sensational interview with Piers Morgan.

Fernandes produced a stellar performance, providing a beautiful pass for United's second. More is to come according to the former USMNT goalkeeper with his Portuguese mate no longer at Carrington.
