Nani delighted ex-Sporting CP pal Fernandes a star with Man Utd

Former Manchester United winger Nani has hailed the impact of Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford.

Nani played with Fernandes at Sporting CP.

He told United Review: "A big part of this team is Bruno Fernandes. Bruno now is a much better player than when we were playing together.

"He was doing great in Portugal but the Portuguese league is not the same as the Premier League.

"I saw so much potential in Bruno and I told him to go to England if he decided to move to another league.

"I said to him: 'Your game will fit there and the fans will go crazy for you!'

"The style of his football is something fans appreciate. He is a player who likes to take risks in the game, who wants to take the responsibility of the game on his back and make difficult passes, dribbles and shots.

"He doesn't care about mistakes; he only thinks about success and making the team have success. He knows what that takes. That's Man United, isn't it?

"Bruno has done so well until now, scoring goals and setting up a lot of goals, but he will keep improving and making the team even better."
