Stand-in captain Bruno Fernandes admits that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been "really happy" with many aspects of his performances this season.
The Portuguese international, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, has been one of the Reds' most influential performers this season, racking up 58 appearances in all competitions.
He has scored 13 goals and chipped in with a very respectable 15 assists, highlighting just how important he has been. He has missed just three of Ten Hag's 61 matches in charge of United so far, each of which were because of yellow card suspensions.
