Manchester United new signing Bruno Fernandes has made a lightning start to his old Trafford Career and could certainly be the Messiah the red devils have been waiting for since the days of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But how does Bruno Fernandes compares to the best Midfielder in the premier league in the person of Kelvin De Bruyne?

Legitgoal selects three similarities between the two and why United fans should be optimistic about the future.

1. Chances Creation


Bruno Fernandes has scored three Goals and Provided four assist for the red devils, Boasting a 76.5% passing Accuracy which demonstrates his tactical intelligence.

Bruno is often left to roam around the final third when United are our of possession, a trait similar with Kelvin De Bruyne.

Fernandes has records a shot rate of 3.8 per game with De Bruyne recording a shot rate of 1.8 per game.

2. Ability to play as a number 10 or a Number 8

De Bruyne early days at Manchester city saw him started out wide as a number 11 until pep Guardiola arrival saw the Belgian international drafting into a number 8 or 10 position.

Fernandes equally is adapted to Playing as a number 8, During his Sporting days, Fernandes was deployed with the task of setting up the tempo from midfied and saw him produced 8 goals and 7 assist in the first half of the season.

It shows tactically, both plays can be flexible in Midfied and that makes their game difficult for opponents to predict.

3. An eye for Goal


Fernandes scored over 50 goals for Sporting which definitely explains how prolific he is in front of goal, and should not be scared of replicating the same form for his new club.

Future role for Manchester United.


Well, with the Future of Paul Pogba still uncertain, it would be wise for Head coach to deploy Fernandes as a Number 8 along with Fred to allow him use his strength effectively.

If Paul Pogba is to move to Real Madrid or Juventus, then a new number 10 should be a priority for United as well as a winger preferably Jardon Sancho.

Fernandes has shown some impressive displays in his early days and Legitgoal feels United really have a special talent at their disposal.
