Player to watch – Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes is in great form for Man Utd right now, scoring goals and providing assists on a regular basis. The Portuguese midfielder has scored eight Premier League goals so far, more than any other United player, and leads the way with six assists.

With seven goals in his last eight outings for Man Utd and Portugal, Fernandes is full of confidence right now and seems to be getting himself into lots of goalscoring positions.

Enjoying his best form for United in a long time

We're backing Fernandes to score again this weekend when Man Utd play host to bottom-of-the-table Sheff Utd, a team that has the worst goal difference in the division.
