Bruno Fernandes says Leeds United have a top player in their ranks who’s been ‘really good’

Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford has been praised by Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes, who listed the Whites ace amongst his top Premier League players this season.

The Elland Road marksman has enjoyed an impressive campaign, registering 15 goals and eight assists in the top flight this term.

Bamford’s efforts have helped Leeds remain on course for a top-half finish in their maiden season back in the Premier League, their first since 2003-04.

And Fernandes, speaking to the Red Devils media team a few weeks ago in a feature article , was impressed with the Whites man’s form in 2020-21.

“I think Bamford from Leeds is also scoring a lot of goals, 14 I think this season already (now 15 in the Premier League), which is really good,” he said.

The Portugal international also praised Raphinha, saying he’s “doing very well”.

Marcelo Bielsa’s charges have enjoyed a superb season and it’s great to hear plaudits being sent their way.

Bamford has had his fair share of critics over the years, but he’s certainly answered them in style and proven he belongs in England’s top tier.
