Man United Are Now Admirable Thanks To ‘Sensational’ Fernandes, Says Paul Scholes

Former England midfielder Paul Scholes has acknowledged that Manchester United are now ‘very watchable’ thanks to the impact of new signee Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes joined the Red Devils last month in a deal worth around £46.6 million after spending three years in the Primeira Liga with Sporting CP.

The Portuguese has made a seamless transition to English football as he scored his second goal for Manchester United in their 5-0 win against Club Brugge in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Scholes is confident Fernandes will maintain his current form and insists the 25-year-old has already transformed his former club into an exciting side.

"It was a perfect night for Manchester United and there were a lot of very good performances. Fernandes stood out and he controlled the pace of play," the 45-year-old told BT Sport.

"He looks like he has brought this team to life. He has made a team that did not look that watchable at times look exciting and very watchable right now.”

"When you bring in a player like Fernandes it livens everyone up. Usually a player from a different country takes more time. Hopefully, he stays in this form for the rest of the season.”

"What do I like about Bruno? Everything so far. Creativity. His awareness on the pitch. Before the ball comes to him he knows what's around him.”

“He's sensational — you just wonder why nobody else came in for him or why we didn't get him in the summer."
