United monster who has been fully unleased by Carrick nets top honour after masterclass vs. Spurs

Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has been honoured following his dazzling performance in Saturday’s victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Fernandes masterclass

In yet another game, Fernandes ran the show as United cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10-man Tottenham.

United started the game brightly and were handed an advantage just before the half-hour mark when Cuti Romero was given his marching orders for a dangerous challenge on Casemiro.

Bryan Mbeumo made the visitors pay almost instantly as he finished off an intelligently worked corner-kick routine by guiding the ball into the bottom corner.

The Red Devils were in the ascendancy from then on and created chance after chance, with Fernandes at the heart of it.

United finally sealed the victory in the 81st minute, as the Portuguese playmaker met Diogo Dalot’s sublime cross and guided it home with an improvised shin.

It was another stunning performance from the seemingly unplayable Fernandes. Since Michael Carrick’s arrival, he has found an extra gear – a surge that has lifted United to another level entirely.

Troy Deeney included Fernandes in his BBC Team of the Week, crediting Carrick’s tactical freedom for unlocking the midfielder’s full potential.

Deeney included Fernandes in a midfield quartet that also includes Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Vitaly Janelt (Brentford), Rayan (Bournemouth) and Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool).

On why he picked Fernandes, Deeney wrote, “What a difference a manager makes – being able to be free, get on the ball, go wherever he wants and be creative.”

“I think Michael Carrick takes a lot of credit for that but again, another goal for him against Spurs, another win for United – he has to go in.”

Fernandes is now up to six goals and 12 assists in 22 Premier League appearances this term.
