​Yorke claims Bruno Fernandes makes Man Utd 'watchable' again

Manchester United treble winner Dwight Yorke believes the team is now "watchable" thanks to Bruno Fernandes.

Many United fans have complained over the years about the team's dour football since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

Only since the arrival of Fernandes have United scored for fun under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Former United striker Yorke told JOE of the upturn in fortune: "The fact that we are unbeaten in 16 games now, that's a run we haven't had for maybe three or four years.

"And of course he's got the addition of Bruno Fernandes, who's hit the ground running and made an instant impact, which we needed.

"We needed something to lift us. It's a little bit early to get above your station, but it certainly looks a lot more exciting and it's looked a lot more watchable - rather than the way it used to be before.

"You can actually now sit down to watch a game of football knowing that, at least we've got players who will attack defenders and try to score."
