Bruno Fernandes has rejected suggestions that his Manchester United form is adversely impacted when Cristiano Ronaldo is playing.
The two stars are teammates at both club and international level, but Fernandes' form nosedived after Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford last summer. Having bagged 29 goals and provided 19 assists in his first 53 Premier League appearances since joining in January 2020, the former Sporting CP playmaker's numbers dipped drastically after Ronaldo joined.
He has scored just eight goals and notched up only seven goal assists in the last 40 Premier League matches, with his own downfall in form coinciding with United – who slumped to a sixth-placed finish last season having recorded successive top-three finishes prior to that.
