Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised his new signing Bruno Fernandes’ performance against Chelsea on Monday night.
Solskjaer described the midfielder’s set-pieces as “top class,” adding that the Portuguese ability from dead-ball situations is among the best he has seen.
Harry Maguire headed in Fernandes’ corner in the second half to give Man United their 2-0 victory, after Anthony Martial gave the Red Devils the lead in the first half.
Solskjaer was delighted with the midfielder, who arrived at United in January.
Fernandes has now made two appearances for United following a start in the Red Devil’s goalless draw with Wolves before the Premier League break.
“He’s a top player, he wants to get on the ball,” the United manager told a news conference.
“But at set-ball delivery he’s top class, one of the better ones I’ve seen. And Harry, we know if he can get a run on the ball he’s dangerous and he got the goal.”
The win against Frank Lampard’s side moved Manchester United into seventh and within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea.
