Typical of bumbling United to help best player Bruno go backwards
THE £206m summer spending spree might just have turned Manchester United’s best player into a big problem.
Bruno Fernandes was United's saviour last season and the last player they needed to fix because he delivered goals, assists and made the whole team tick.
But now, the Portuguese playmaker looks lost in a new-look lineup as the game passes him by and his effectiveness has waned in Ruben Amorim's team.
United have bought themselves a superstar front three in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
They have invested heavily and gone allout attack. There are exciting signs, with Brazilian Cunha already embracing the No.10 shirt and looking an exciting maverick.
Mbeumo has talent, skill and vision, while Sesko cost £73m and, when he is fit to start, has got so many qualities as a classic No.9.
