Ex-Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand has said Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani have both backed Bruno Fernandes’ move to the club and they even described him as a fantastic addition to the team.
Rio said he recently reached out to those who know Bruno at national level and club level and they all testified that he is really good.
According to Rio, he even spoke to his ex-teammates, Ronaldo and Nani, about the quality to expect from the Portuguese international and their response was encouraging.
He added that he feels the ex Sporting star would be vital for the Red Devils because of his creativity vs teams that park the bus.
His words, “I’ve spoken to a few of his teammates at national level and club level,”
“Nani, my old teammate, says he’s a fantastic player, says he’s perfect for England. Says he’s got all the tools, all the right attributes.
“Cristiano said he’s fantastic, creates chances for him. He can manipulate the ball, take the ball, confident.
“These are the type of things that you want to hear when Manchester United are signing a player. So fans, based on what I’ve heard about him and what I’ve seen, I’m hopeful and confident that this guy can go out there and do the job.”
“He’s a player who knows how to create chances,”
“Man United have not found it difficult when they’ve had to counter-attack teams, when teams have come on to them and they’ve had a little bit less possession they’ve been able to counter-attack with the speed and pace they’ve got up front.
“But where they’ve found it hard and difficult is when they’ve played against teams who sit there and wait, especially at Old Trafford.
“But this is where someone like Bruno Fernandes can come in and play a pivotal role for Manchester United.
“He’s a certain person who can look for that bit of imagination, that creativity, that patience around the box, that ability to hit the ball from the edge of the box and score a screamer. This is what Manchester United have been missing, especially with Paul Pogba out.
“And mentioning Paul Pogba, what does that mean for someone like Bruno Fernandes coming in? Well, I think he can only enhance someone like him.
“Someone who has got something to play for by the way. This summer is the Euros, he’s going to want to be part of this French team who are probably the favourites to win.
“He will have that appetite there to perform for Man United. Even if he’s using that to get into the French team, Man United have to actually take that and take that on board.
“Man United’s midfield – McTominay, Pogba, Bruno Fernandes – it’s got a nice ring to it.”
