Robin Van Persie was thrilled with the impact Bruno Fernandes had from the bench against Club Brugge this evening.
Fernandes made way as one of six changes to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side that defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and had to settle for a ten minute cameo at the end.
The Portugal midfielder could not provide the decisive moment in the game, but made an immediate impact as he added enthusiasm, positivity and quality to United’s midfield as they pushed for a late winner.
