Former Arsenal and France star Emmanuel Petit has hailed the impact Bruno Fernandes has had since joining, saying the new man has shown 'leadership' that has been lacking from compatriot Paul Pogba.
Fernandes has been hailed as the purchase of the January window as his three goals and four assists in his opening nine games since signing from Portuguese side Sporting have inspired a strong run of form for the Red Devils.
It is a dramatic turnaround in fortunes at Old Trafford as they struggled to keep in touch with the race for Champions League qualification but now find themselves just three points off fourth in the Premier League.
