Erik ten Hag praised Bruno Fernandes's role in "dictating" play for Manchester United in their 1-0 Premier League win over Brentford.
United returned to the top four with a gritty 1-0 defeat of Thomas Frank's side and could rise to third in the Premier League table with victory against Everton in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.
Fernandes started in a deeper role in the goalless draw against Southampton last month and dropped deep again for spells of the game against Brentford.
