Solskjaer also said after the game that Fernandes was aware of the fact he’d been signed to become an important player.
“Bruno has come in to be a very important player,” added the Norwegian.
“We’ve needed that type of player. He knows he’s here to play.
“One of the good things about him is he takes risks with the ball, like Veron did.
“I used to love playing with Seba because you’d run and you’d get the ball. If he doesn’t hit you, at least he’s looking for you and that’s what Bruno does.

“That will encourage players to make more runs, I hope, because there aren’t enough of them still.”
