Imagine how Manchester United's season would have played out without Bruno Fernandes, without the 24 goals he has scored and the other 14 he's assisted with.
They certainly wouldn't be sitting comfortably in second position in the Premier League, looking down loftily on the scramble for the Champions League places beneath them.
It's quite possible they would be where Arsenal are, drifting along in the mediocrity of mid-table and being chided about their worthiness for the European Super League.
Would Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still be their manager?
