'Bruno Fernandes is not a number 10' - Man Utd given advice on €55m star's best position

Bruno Fernandes is a "box-to-box player" with the "ability to break the line of the defence", according to former Sporting C.P. boss Carlos Carvalhal, who has warned Manchester United against playing him in the No.10 position.

Big things are expected of the Portuguese midfielder following his €55 million (£56m/$60m) move to Old Trafford during the January transfer window, with an encouraging debut against Wolves at Old Trafford giving supporters a glimpse of the playmaker's unique talents.

The 25-year-old started the match at the top of the midfield, but dropped deeper in the second half in order to dictate the pace of the match, which ultimately ended 0-0.
