Manchester United supporters are hopeful that Bruno Fernandes can be the player to turn their fortunes around.

The Portuguese midfielder arrives with a reputation for his tenacious, spirited approach, and United could do with a bit of that right now.

Standards have been allowed to slip at Old Trafford and Fernandes, who once called out his own Sporting Lisbon teammates in leaked recordings, won’t be afraid to upset anyone.

The 25-year-old midfielder scored 64 goals in 137 appearances for Sporting and there’s a chance he could be in action against Wolves on Saturday.

United fans have no doubt spent a considerable amount of time watching Fernandes highlights videos on YouTube, and they will no doubt be impressed.

However, what those don’t show is Fernandes’ attitude on and off the pitch, and his dedicated approach to the game.

That’s where reddit user Sev7n7 comes in.

A Sporting fan, Sev7n7 has delivered his opinion on Fernandes after following him closely during his two-and-a-half years at the club.

And his words have left Man United supporters very excited.

Sev7n7 wrote: “You have no idea the deal you're getting... He's way more than just a great player, he attacks and defends constantly throughout the whole game, he does sprints at the end of the game to prevent a counter attack even though we're winning by more than 1 goal, he's the first guy to show his face when things are bad, the first to push his teammates to give 200% on the pitch.

“He attends the youngsters games regularly, welcomes new signings to the team and helps them in whatever way they need in their daily lives until they're settled, he lives and breathes the club he's in. A leader in every sense of the word.

“Best player I've seen in the club in my 30 years of life and I can't even imagine that locker room without him. But I wish him and United all the luck!”

‘He lives the breathes the club he’s in’. Considering some of the players that have walked through the door at Old Trafford in recent years, that’s all United fans want.
