How Bruno Fernandes is helping Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho

Bruno Fernandes was the supply line for Alejandro Garnacho on Saturday against Wolves, threading a late ball through to the teenager to mark his return to action in style.

After missing eight weeks through injury, the 18-year-old's return as an 81st-minute substitute received the loudest roar of the day at Old Trafford and the Argentine issued another reminder of his dazzling potential with his cool finish for his fifth goal for United.

But Fernandes' role in Garnacho's development goes well behind those perfect passes to run on to. The club's vice-captain has become something of a mentor to the teenager away from the pitch, offering advice and insight to a player enjoying a breakthrough season while having to adapt to the limelight that comes with playing for United and being called up by Argentina.
