“You can just look at the results we've had since he came in.
"He's got loads of energy, leadership, and he's a team player, which is the key here now for us going forward.
“Some players will have to sit games out and rest. I wasn't looking forward to telling Bruno when he was rested against Leipzig, but he was absolutely no problem, the same as Marcus Rashford.
“They know this season is challenging and that's how we build this team, the culture of the team.

“It's about the team, not individuals and Bruno has proved that over and over, that's it's the team before 'I'.”
Fernandes will likely play a main role for the Red Devils when they take on Southampton.
United will be without a number of players including Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw, while assessments will be made on Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, although all three should be fit to play.
