Erik ten Hag believes Bruno Fernandes can thrive in his new deeper position in Manchester United's midfield.
Since arriving at Old Trafford, the Portuguese’s goal scoring prowess has been relied upon, finding the net 36 times in his first two-and-a-half Premier League seasons. He has five this time around, but has been tasked with doing a lot more work which can go unnoticed.
Fernandes has also been tasked with leading the team, taking the armband from Harry Maguire, who has struggled to hold down a regular place. His captaincy skills have come under the microscope however, following United’s embarrassing 7-0 loss at Liverpool last week.
