Two words are chanted ad infinitum in victory at Old Trafford these days: Argentina and Bruno. Lisandro Martinez has the privilege of the cult status Bruno Fernandes quickly attained three years ago and the Portuguese's legacy at Manchester United is far greater now.
Fernandes may not register half the 28 goals he tallied two seasons ago but there is a credible argument this has been his best for United. Fernandes has assumed leadership responsibilities under his third manager at the club, United have played some of their most commanding football in six years and Fernandes has started in all but one Premier League match (he was suspended at Aston Villa).
Back in July and at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Fernandes bristled when he was asked if he would "tweak" his game to become more aligned with Erik ten Hag's demands. Fernandes misheard the question.
