Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lauded the return of Christian Eriksen to the team.
The Danish international started against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday.
A late entry in the lineup for the injured Marcel Sabitzer, Eriksen looked as though he had never been away.
"You know that when you have injuries you have to replace," Ten Hag told reporters.
"But I've said often, I think we have more than 11 starting players and I think we proved it today. The players on the pitch had a really good performance.
"He (Eriksen)'s a natural talent. Everything is going so smoothly with him, so many skills, game understanding. He would not have started if Marcel hadn't dropped out but also when Marcel's dropping out, we're really happy with his performances in the last games. When you bring on Christian it's not a disadvantage for your team and he proved it.
"Yeah, at the last minute [Bruno Fernandes's role changed]. It's a little bit of a different role but it's not that huge because we want rotation there, to be fluid and our full-backs play an important role in our game in possession there. I think both did very well, they played a very good game."
