Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been named in the WhoScored team of the round after a sensational performance.
Bruno Fernandes has had a mixed start to his season for Manchester United, as have most of the players, but he has shone for Portugal.
Portugal have won every game they have played in the European Championship qualifiers and have already sealed their route into the competition next summer.
Fernandes was heavily involved during his national team’s 3-2 win over Slovakia as his two assists, taking his total to seven, were crucial in Portugal’s victory.
Fernandes named in team of the round
The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder was named in the team which is hard to disagree with, as his superb assist helped his side win the game.
Fernandes’ rating of 8.65 on WhoScored was justified as the midfielder ran the show throughout the game.
According to SofaScore, Fernandes had a 77% passing accuracy, completed five key passes and created four big chances.
Fernandes needs to take his form for his international team to the club team and, as captain, is seemingly under more pressure to perform at Old Trafford.
The midfielder’s display was even praised by former teammate David de Gea.
Fernandes’ chance
Fernandes, as mentioned, has had a rather underwhelming start to the Premier League season with United and needs to step up, particularly as captain of the club.
With United taking on Sheffield United, who have yet to win a game in the Premier League this season, on a Saturday night at Bramall Lane, it will certainly be hostile.
You need your captain to step up and Fernandes will be crucial for the Red Devils and will need to improve his performances otherwise United may slump to an embarrassing loss.
The hope will be that Fernandes being named in the team of the round will improve his confidence ahead of a massive few weeks at Old Trafford for Erik ten Hag.
