Neville impressed by Fernandes' Man Utd debut despite early Veron comparison

Gary Neville saw signs of Juan Sebastian Veron in Bruno Fernandes' debut for Manchester United , but was ultimately encouraged by the midfielder's display.

Fernandes played the full 90 minutes at Old Trafford on Saturday as United were held to a 0-0 Premier League draw by Wolves.

The Portugal international, signed in a €55 million (£47m/$60m) deal from from Sporting, had five shots, three of which were on target, and attempted a game-high 88 passes, though he did not directly create a chance for any of his team-mates.
