'Man Utd owe Fernandes a lot already' - Diogo Jota praises 'ambitious' Portugal team-mate

Bruno Fernandes is Manchester United's "most ambitious" player, according to Diogo Jota, who says the club already "owe a lot" to their €55 million (£48m/$60m) January signing.

Fernandes completed a big-money move to Old Trafford from Sporting at the start of the year, after a drawn-out transfer saga spanning over a year finally reached its conclusion.

It was initially suggested that the 25-year-old might struggle to adapt to the demands of Premier League football after spending the last three years of his career in the Primeira Liga, but he quickly silenced any doubters with a string of outstanding displays.
