With Manchester United missing Christian Eriksen and Casemiro for the Premier League clash with Leicester City on Sunday, it was important that Bruno Fernandes performed well.

As it happened, the Portuguese international was exceptional. Fernandes recorded two assists as Erik ten Hag's side secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Foxes at Old Trafford.

Had his teammates' finishing been better, he could've had more, too. Fernandes has been one of United's standout players so far this season, but he struggled for goal contributions in the early stages of the campaign.

The 28-year-old's standards never dropped, but, for whatever reason, he was finding it difficult to get on the scoresheet, and his assists tally was down on recent years.
