Bruno Fernandes names Manchester United star he loves playing with

Bruno Fernandes has revealed which Manchester United teammate he loves playing alongside the most.

Bruno Fernandes has been an absolute revelation since moving to Manchester United in January. When the Portuguese completed the move from Sporting CP, there were concerns about how he would adjust to the Premier League.

As it turns out, he has adjusted historically well. He came into a Manchester United that was struggling for form and completely transformed there fortunes. They finished in the top four, which was looking impossible at one point of time and by the end of the season, the Red Devils were looking better than they had for years.

Naturally, Fernandes has become one of the most important members of this team. But he has revealed that he enjoys playing with one of the fringe members of the squad the most. As reported by Goal, he said:

"“You say one name with whom I enjoy playing a lot and that is Juan. I think he is one of the smartest players, he knows what I want and how I want to play and he thinks really quickly.“Sometimes the point is not being quick but thinking quickly and I think Juan is one of those kinds of players and I love playing with him."

Juan Mata has had an up and down career at Old Trafford. He emerged as an absolute superstar at Chelsea but fell out of favour following the arrival of Jose Mourinho. As a result, Manchester United were able to snap him up for a bargain £37 million.

His time at the club has not gone as expected though. Although he has had some bursts of good form, he has never quite managed to establish himself as a first-team star.

A lot of that has been down to the constant changes in manager at the club though. He was signed by David Moyes, who was sacked just months later. Since then Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been in the Red Devils’ hot seat.

The talent has never been a doubt with Juan Mata. Having won both the World Cup and the Champions League, his pedigree is incredible and a manager just needs to get the best out of him.
