“We have been tracking Bruno for many months and everyone here has been tremendously impressed with all his attributes and what he will bring to this team,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
“Most importantly he is a terrific human being with a great personality and his leadership qualities are clear for all to see.”
Expressing his delight Fernandes said, “My love of Manchester United really started when I used to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play and ever since then I have been a big fan of this great club.”
“For me to now play for Manchester United feels incredible.”
“I have worked hard to get to this moment and I can promise the fans that I will give everything for the badge to help bring us more success and trophies.”
Bruno is a good choice for Man United who are struggling with their midfield options. He can play centrally or out wide. Also he can play as a defensive midfielder.
