Luke Shaw says Bruno Fernandes is a 'massive part' of Manchester United's resurgence this season.

The Portugal midfielder has scored six goals and provided five assists in nine Premier League appearances since from Sporting Lisbon in January.

And Shaw believes Fernandes has helped push his teammates to the next level.

"For me, Bruno is a massive part of the change, the culture that is now going on at United," Shaw said. "He pushes that day in, day out.

"[He is] an amazing guy off the pitch, he's funny and he has massive confidence in his own ability, which none of us doubt. He's been perfect on the pitch.

"The whole team has changed I believe. The injuries we had also - Paul [Pogba] and [Marcus] Rashford - have also come back and hit the ground running in this part of the season. Everyone is pulling their weight and doing a great job."
