BRUNO FERNANDES is the perfect fit at Manchester United because he ‘only thinks about success’.
That’s the opinion of former Red Devil Nani, who isn’t surprised the fans are ‘going crazy’ for the classy midfielder.

Fernandes has been a revelation for United since joining from Porto in a £55million deal in February.
The 26-year-old has scored nine goals in 13 appearances so far this season for the Premier League side.
But Nani, who says he urged Fernandes to sign for United, isn’t surprised.

The 34-year-old, who is now playing for Orlando City FC, told the United Review: “A big part of this team is Bruno Fernandes. Bruno now is a much better player than when we were playing together.
“He was doing great in Portugal but the Portuguese league is not the same as the Premier League.
“I saw so much potential in Bruno and I told him to go to England if he decided to move to another league.
“I said to him: ‘Your game will fit there and the fans will go crazy for you!’
“The style of his football is something fans appreciate. He is a player who likes to take risks in the game, who wants to take the responsibility of the game on his back and make difficult passes, dribbles and shots.

“He doesn’t care about mistakes; he only thinks about success and making the team have success. He knows what that takes. That’s Man United, isn’t it?
“Bruno has done so well until now, scoring goals and setting up a lot of goals, but he will keep improving and making the team even better.”
The Portuguese playmaker’s stunning impact at Manchester United was evident once again following more heroics in last night’s Champions League win over Basaksehir.
And SunSport has revealed how Fernandes has the most goals and assists of any Premier League player since his explosive arrival in February.
In that time, Fernandes has scored more goals (21) than any other Prem rival, and is joint top of the assists chart with Kevin de Bruyne on 13.
Harry Kane is one goal behind and has played 11 games fewer, while De Bruyne has also not been as busy as Fernandes.
But the stats show what a remarkable piece of business the 26-year-old was.
He has a total of 34 goals and assists since February 1 in all competitions, three more than Spurs leader Kane.
