'Unlocked': Bruno Fernandes' astonishing record at Manchester United since Erik ten Hag's sacking

Bruno Fernandes has certainly found his form since the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.

The Portuguese superstar was making his 250th appearance with manchester united as he provided a goal and an assist in their Premier League clash against Leicester.

The Manchester United star had been an integral part of Ten Hag's plans at Old Trafford, holding the captaincy and being the beating heart of the team.

But since the Dutch coach left, Fernandes has been unstoppable.

Man United have played four games since he left, with Ruud van Nistelrooy take interim charge of the Red Devils.

In that time, Fernandes scored a staggering four goals and provided two assists in those games.

In comparison, the midfielder failed to score in his last 13 games for Ten Hag.

In Van Nistelrooy's last game in charge, Fernandes did not disappoint with a stunning strike that put Man United 1-0 up against Leicester.

He then found the net again with a header after a cross from Noussair Mazraoui, although the goal was finally scored by Victor Kristiansen as an own goal.

One fan wrote on social media: “Ruud van Nistelrooy has unblocked Bruno Fernandes.”

Another added: “It's almost like when you get Bruno Fernandes close to the goal, you see the best version of him, not as difficult as Mr Ten Hag.”

Since joining Man United, Fernandes has been a prolific force in front of goal.

In 250 appearances for the club, the 30-year-old scored 83 goals and provided 73 assists.

He will hope to improve that number once Amorim takes over.
