London: Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is very much like his Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo in the way that he can’t talk to anyone when the team he is playing for loses, says his former Sporting CP teammate Luiz Phellype.
Fernandes was brought to United in the January transfer window and took the Premier League by storm.
Since his 55 million Euro deal that sealed Fernandes’ move from Lisbon-based Sporting CP to United, the 25-year-old has played a tallismanic role in midfield for the struggling Old Trafford giants.
The effect he has had on the team has drawn comparisons to Ronaldo, who also came to United from Sporting as a teenager and went on to win three successive Premier League titles and a Champions League before his record breaking move to Real Madrid.
“He’s by far the best I have ever played with. Outsiders only look at what he does at games, but the people who see him on a daily basis in training understand how good he is,” said Phellype .
“Bruno is a guy who orks hard and one of the last to leave the club and training.” he added. (IANS)
