Manchester United’s over-reliance on Bruno Fernandes is “worrying”, and the team will struggle to get into the top four or five if they keep relying on him solely for goals. That’s the opinion of Liverpool icon Steve Nicol.
United were held to a draw by Everton on Sunday at Goodison Park.
The Toffees took the lead after three minutes through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who pounced to take advantage of a rare David de Gea blunder.
The Red Devils were level soon enough, however, as Fernandes unleashed a first time shot into the bottom corner from 25 yards out.
He almost made it two later in the game, after he he was played through one-on-one by Juan Mata. However, his shot was saved by Jordan Pickford, and the England stopper got in front of Odion Ighalo’s close-range follow-up.
