I mean, the guy's got so much vision and intelligence, it's like he's reading the game before it even happens 
. And that free kick assist to Rashford? 
pure class! Paul Pogba finishing that chance was the icing on the cake tho 
. Danny Murphy said it best, Fernandes is BRILLIANT 
!
, love how he controls the tempo of the game from start to finish 
. His passes are always so precise and clever 
. He's like a conductor on the pitch, leading his team to victory 
.
... like everyone knows Bruno Fernandes is a genius player already! His performance was super impressive, no question about it 
. But let's be real, folks, it's not like this is breaking news or anything. He plays for Man U, what did you expect? 
and what really gets me is that pundits are saying his "intelligence and vision" on the pitch, but dont we need more stats to back this up? like how many passes did he make, how much ground did he cover? cant just take murphy's word for it, gotta see the data 
. Rashford and Pogba were having great games too, and what about Fred? He's always underrated 
. Fernandes might've been in control for most of the game, but I think we're giving him too much credit 
. His team has a solid squad, and they can win without him being on fire 
️.
. And then Fernandes just takes over, making those magic passes and setting up his teammates for goal after goal 
. It's like he has a sixth sense on the pitch. And that free-kick by Saka was insane! 
I don't think any of us saw that one coming. But in the end, it all came down to Fernandes, and what a finish! 
He's definitely got some magic for his money 
. I'm just glad United managed to pull off the win 
. The way he controls the tempo of the game is insane, and his precision passing is on point 
. I'm loving how Manchester United are finally starting to gel under Erik ten Hag 
. And that free-kick from Bukayo Saka was straight fire 
. He's living his best life as a Manchester United midfielder 
his passing range is insane 
it was so cool to watch him set up rashford for that first goal 
fernandes's experience is showing again 
the guy's got class and i'm so glad man u won this one 
Bruno Fernandes is literally a genius on the pitch!!! He's always one step ahead of everyone else, controlling the tempo and creating chances out of thin air 
I'm seriously impressed by this guy, Danny Murphy must be right on the money with that "brilliant" comment 
seriously though, that guy is pure class, his vision on the pitch is insane 
he's got the magic touch 
️. and let's be real, his goal was pure perfection 
But Fernandes is just unstoppable! His late winner was a total nail-biter, I was shouting at the screen when he slotted that ball home. Danny Murphy said it all, Fernandes is BRILLIANT!!! 
But at the same time, I love how he distributes the ball to his teammates - it's not just about him making all the fancy plays. He knows when to pick out someone who's gonna score or create something special. And that second half was like magic, man...
