Bruno Fernandes actually did something at Anfield no Manchester United player has done since records began
Bruno Fernandes was superb for Manchester United against Liverpool on Sunday.
Having missed the harrowing 2-0 defeat against Newcastle at Old Trafford through suspension, the Portugal international stepped up for Ruben Amorim to help the Red Dev🐻ils secure a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
The man born in Maia provided the assist for Lisandro Martinez to thump the Red Devils into a 1-0 lead, while he also played Joshua Zirkzee through on goal for what could have been a 96th minute ꦐwinner.
After the thrilling Premier League clash had ended, it became apparent Bruno Fernandes had achieved something no other Manchester United player has done since records began.
Bruno Fernandes makes history for Manchester United
Since Opta started collecting Premier League data in the 2003/04 campaign, no Manchester United player had ev💫er created four chances in a game at Anfield, until now.
Fernandes continuously made the Liverpool backline work as he probed Arne Slot’s defence with teasing deliveries, registering four key passes – but that was far from all he did on Merseyside.
SofꦓaScore shows that the Manchester United No.8 also put in a real shift defensively, recording three tackles, one interception and two clearances, while also winning three freekicks for his sܫide.
Furthermore, the 30-year-o🤡ld won both of the aerial duels he was involved in𒉰, delivered three accurate crosses and completed all three of his attempted dribbles.
Ian Wright backed Fernandes to shine under Amorim – and on the basis of this performance, the popular pundit may well be spo🌠t on.
Ruben Amorim needs consistency from Bruno Fernandes
As Amorim stated after Sunday’s 2-2 draw, Manchester United will go backwards if they star🐼t to relax after this positive result, and the same can be said of Fernandes.
The Portuguese playmak👍er let his side down in the 2-0 defeat at Wolves on Boxing Day, foolishly picking up a second yellow card before the Old Gold then netted their two goals.
As captain, Fernandes – who Barcelona like – has to remove these silly moments from his game, and deliver more performances like the one which saw him make history a🐼t Anfield.
