Man Utd manager Solskjaer: Bruno Fernandes has been massive influence

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Bruno Fernandes has had a 'massive influence' since joining the club in January.

Fernandes grabbed his eighth Premier League goal of the season in Sunday's 2-0 win over Leicester City.

The result secured a third-place for United

"We have to admit that he's been a massive influence," he said.

"A massive impact and he has been scoring and creating goals. But also his enthusiasm and mentality has helped. Maybe today you could see a tired Bruno but that's natural as he's played to much.

"You can see his passion and he was moaning a little here and there, we might have to take that away from him sometimes. But he stepped up, calm as you like and tucked away the penalty."
