Bruno Fernandes was the hero in Manchester United’s hard-fought victory over Fulham.

 Man Utd really had difficulty when they had to be a guest at Fulham’s stadium in round 11 of the Premier League.

 Man Utd’s аttаck was almost powerless in finding a goal against the London team.

 On the contrary, Andre Onana had to constantly show off his saving grace. Everyone started thinking about another disappointing result for the Red Devils.

 That’s when Bruno Fernandes spoke up at the right time. The Portuguese midfielder’s strike in the 90+1 minute was enough for Man Utd to win all 3 points against Fulham, thereby easing the pressure on coach Erik ten Hag.

 However, it would be wrong to assume that Fernandes had a good match. In fact, he completely failed to meet the requirements in this match. 

 Statistics from Sofa Score show that Fernandes’ expected goal and assist ratios are only 0.19 and 0.09 respectively. He only had 7 touches of the ball and a passing accuracy rate of 76% throughout the match.

 Fernandes made 6 incorrect crosses and lost the ball 20 times. 

 Obviously Fernandes doesn’t play football at his usual level, but when needed he still knows how to shine. 

 The fact that Fernandes was the best player on Man Utd’s side against Fulham also shows that the Manchester team’s аttаck has problems. 

 Fernandes cannot always shine like he did against Fulham and Man Utd still has to improve their playing style in the near future.
