Bruno Fernandes has quickly established himself as a fan favourite at Manchester United and the Portuguese midfielder looks to be on his way to an even loftier status. Fernandes has made an instant impact since arriving at United from Sporting Lisbon in January in a deal reportedly worth £67.6 million (Dh386.5m), contributing goals, assists and generally bossing the midfield for his new club. Indeed, since arriving at United, Fernandes has been directly involved in more Premier League goals (five) than any other player (two goals, three assists). He was once again a standout performer at Old Trafford on Sunday when United <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/anthony-martial-strikes-as-manchester-united-s-derby-delight-over-city-edges-liverpool-closer-to-title-1.989996">defeated rivals Manchester City 2-0</a>, laying on a smart assist for Anthony Martial to score the opener. And Fernandes has gone even further in endearing himself to United fans when he was filmed appearing to "shush" City manager Pep Guardiola, who is seen having an exchange with Fernandes before the midfielder puts his finger to his lips. Fernandes was substituted in the final few minutes of the game and was then filmed celebrating with Anthony Martial after Scott McTominay's 96th minute goal assured United of victory. It may be early days, but it looks as though United fans have a new hero to cheer - and his name is Bruno Fernandes.
