Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes Bruno Fernandes could blossom into a right-sided winger, similarly to Reds icon David Beckham.
Fernandes, who has scored three goals and grabbed three assists for United so far this season, played predominantly as a right-winger for Portugal up until their World Cup exit at the hands of Morocco last Saturday at the quarter-final stage. Although it is not his natural role, the 28-year-old most certainly left his calling card, scoring two goals and grabbing three assists in four appearances in Qatar.
Fernandes was instrumental in Portugal's group stage wins over both Ghana and Uruguay, registering two assists against the former and two goals against the latter. As those wins secured their place in the last-16, he was rested for the concluding group game against South Korea.
