Over the past nine days, we have seen the best and worst of Manchester United. We have also seen the best and worst of Bruno Fernandes too.
Both he and United were at their lowest during their Anfield annihilation, but much better in their midweek win over Real Betis. Sunday's draw with Southampton was a day in which both underperformed yet showed slight shimmers of promise within their resilience.
What has been apparent this season is that the form of Fernandes has largely reflected that of the team, with United's heaviest defeats coming in matches when he has himself been off the boil and impressive wins coming when he has played a key role.
