Roy Keane says there’s one Man Utd star he’d ‘pay’ to watch play – but he can do even ‘more’ than he is

However, upon closer inspection, Sesko’s effort eventually went in after taking a slight touch off of Freddie Woodman’s glove, meaning Fernandes wasn’t credited for creating the goal.

He will have to wait until Saturday’s clash at the Stadium of Light to potentially level or even exceed the record, which is currently held by both Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

Fernandes’ league record this season

As per Fotmob, Fernandes created the most chances of any player at Old Trafford yesterday (six).

The Portuguese maestro also recorded eight final third passes, six touches in the opposition’s area, four accurate long balls and two accurate crosses. Defensively, he did his bit by making five recoveries, two clearances and one interception.

What did Keane say about Fernandes?

Such a commanding showing only further proved why Keane was so complimentary of him before the action got underway.

The United legend told the Sky Sports panel: “I think Bruno is an amazing player, absolutely amazing. He’s one of the few players I’d pay to watch him play. He makes the game look easy. His stats are fantastic.

“But the reason we, and I, have been critical of him is because I think so highly of him, I want more from him.”
