Fernandes, 26, joined United in January from Sporting Lisbon in a transfer which cost the Reds’ hierarchy £49.5m, as per Transfermarkt.
Since his Old Trafford arrival less than 12-months ago, the Portuguese maestro has had an unrivalled impact on his new side after boasting a hugely impressive goal involvement tally.
Fernandes has featured in 35 matches in all competitions for United and has been directly involved in 34 goals after scoring 21 and assisting a further 13.
United’s creative midfielder’s latest jaw-dropping performance came during the Reds’ brilliant 4-1 thrashing of Istanbul in the Champions League group stage earlier this week.
Fernandes bagged a brace despite passing up the chance to score a penalty after he gifted the spot-kick to team-mate Marcus Rashford instead.
In light of Fernandes’ stunning mid-week display, the press from the 26-year-old’s native Portugal have not held back in their praise for the midfielder after they dubbed him the ‘boss’.
Popular publication A Bola went with the headline: “Portuguese continues to command for Manchester United: BOSS BRUNO.”
