Man Utd ace Fernandes: I believe I'll improve on last season

Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes feels he'll be even better this new season after a successful first six months in England.

The Portuguese midfielder arrived at Old Trafford in January for £55million from Sporting and changed the course of United's season.

He said, "It's instinct. Over the years, because of the position in which I was playing, I developed my ability to move around and look forward.

"When we lose the ball, I try to be the first one to react and to call on the other attacking players to help out in winning back possession.

"And obviously for me, to be able to build up the play, to have the ball and provide passes to my team-mates to enable them to score goals – it's very important.

"I think that's what I need to do a bit more because, yes, I've provided some assists but I could have provided more, given the quality we have up front.

"I believe I can improve on my numbers given the quality we have up front."
