Cristiano Ronaldo quickly re-established himself as Manchester United's main man after returning to the club last summer - a mantle previously held by Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes had been United's talisman pretty much ever since he arrived at Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon back in January 2020. But the Portuguese midfielder's form - and influence - has dropped significantly since he was joined in Manchester by his compatriot.
While it's more than likely just a coincidence that Fernandes has faltered since Ronaldo returned to the club, that hasn't stopped some people from coining the theory that the duo are incapable of playing effectively together. However, United icon Paul Scholes has debunked that theory by highlighting how the pair combined to put Sheriff Tiraspol to the sword in midweek.
