Two moments in Bruno Fernandes' 200th game for Manchester United summed up his importance to Ruben Amorim's team.
The first came seven minutes from the end of United's 2-1 victory against Chelsea at Old Trafford as he nicked the ball off Chelsea captain Reece James, surged 40 yards downfield and drew a full-length save from Filip Jorgensen.
Fernandes reacted by roaring at the Stretford End. "Come on," he bellowed. Three times he shouted.
Then, 10 minutes later, after he had been replaced by Kobbie Mainoo, he sat on the edge of his seat in nervous exhaustion as he willed his team-mates to see the game to its triumphant conclusion.
