What is his style of play?

Fernandes is a central midfielder who has been compared to Real Madrids Toni Kroos.He likes to play further up the pitch to create chances for his attackers, playing through balls and shooting from distance.Ex-United boss Jose Mourinho recently admitted hes been ‘surprised’ by the superb performances of his compatriot in recent months.“I was surprised by the season of Bruno, he told Eleven Sports. “It was easy to predict quality, he is a very good player, but scored a very high number of goals for a midfield player. “It shows that you need to have instinct and qualities to score and he has it all.“He strikes the ball well, heads well, cool when he is one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He finds space in the penalty area. Its all there.”
