Manchester United great Bryan Robson admits he's quickly been won over by Bruno Fernandes.

The signing of Fernandes in the January transfer window proved a masterstroke, with United unbeaten in 11 games and fifth in the Premier League table by the time football was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"The form before the lockdown was certainly encouraging," said former United and England captain Robson.

"The indications were that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had got it right.

"Bruno Fernandes has proved a terrific signing. He looks a United player. Great attitude, always on the half turn looking to go forward.

"He's the closest we've had to Paul Scholes for years in terms of technique, how he finds pockets of space and his willingness to get a shot off. He gives the side greater balance and threat.

"When you combine that with Scott McTominay improving plus the prospect of Marcus Rashford returning to fitness, it looks good."
