Manchester United-Southampton Preview

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has credited Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes with having the same influence as former Red Devils superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fernandes - a Portugal team-mate of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo - has made a sensational impact since joining United in January.

United's talisman has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances and provided 13 assists, winning 22 of the matches he has featured in.

"He does definitely have that presence and an influence and impact on his team-mates, you can just look at results we've had since he came in," the United boss said in a press conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Southampton.
