It was somewhat of a surprise to see Bruno Fernandes included in Manchester United's starting line-up to face Reading in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday night. However, with the Portuguese ace having missed just two matches this season, Erik ten Hag clearly wants him on the pitch whenever possible.
While it was far from a sparking performance from the 28-year-old against Paul Ince's side, the midfielder still managed to grab an assist for Fred's goal. It was an inviting cross that was dispatched by the Brazilian, with Fernandes having now registered six goals and six assists this term.
His decision-making in the final third was questionable at times against the Royals, but in typical fashion, he was still able to influence the scoreline in United's favour.
