With Fernandes combining so well with Marcus Rashford, United should be targeting at least one trophy this season
There were a few mitigating factors for his slow start to the season. He was not the only United player who struggled to adapt to Ten Hag’s demands and style of play. But there is a clear identity in the side now, with Fernandes a vital cog in what is increasingly a winning machine.
United have struggled in the first half, with Ten Hag complaining that his side had been “rubbish” but the combination of Fernandes’s passing and Rashford’s running means they are always dangerous. Fernandes created nine goalscoring chances in the match – more than any other player has achieved in a league game this season .
While much has been made of Rashford’s superb goalscoring after the World Cup, and deservedly so, his performances have overshadowed just how impressive Fernandes has been. With a more mobile set of attackers in front of him, Fernandes has the ideal outlets to fully maximise his creative qualities. He has now hit double figures for assists this season, with Rashford very grateful.
