Shaw terms Bruno Fernandes a positive influence in the dressing room

According to the Mirror, Luke Shaw believes new signing Bruno Fernandes has altered the attitude in the Manchester United dressing room.

The Portuguese international has hit the ground running at Old Trafford. He has made nine appearances for the Red Devils and has scored three goals and four assists so far.

His influence has not just been a boon on the pitch, but off it as well. Shaw has labelled the flamboyant attacker as a leader off the pitch.

“He’s been amazing for us”

The New Ginger Prince?

Following his good start at Old Trafford, Solksjaer noted the 25-year-old’s determination and leadership qualities.

The Norwegian likened the midfielder to his former teammate and Red Devils legend Paul Scholes. The Englishman was one of the Premier League’s finest and is alongside Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard as one of the best in his position.

Being compared to the Ginger Prince is no mean feat and so far, Fernandes has done justice to the comparison.
