'A joy to watch' - 'Unbelievable' Fernandes impresses Van Persie with Man Utd cameo

He may have only been a late substitute, but Bruno Fernandes’ performance in Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Club Brugge was a “joy to watch”, according Robin van Persie.

Fernandes is a new face at Old Trafford, having completed a €55 million (£46m/$59m) switch from Sporting in the final days of last month’s transfer window.

The Portugal international was immediately thrown straight into the starting line-up for their goalless draw at home to Wolves just before the winter break and retained his place in the side for Monday’s impressive 2-0 win away at Chelsea.
