DBasia.news –  Former Manchester United player, Jaap Stam, rated that Bruno Fernandes was similar to one of the red devil legends. Bruno Fernandes game is considered similar to Paul Scholes in terms of creativity when processing the ball.

Manchester United completed the transfer of Bruno Fernandes before the winter transfer window was closed. The Red Devils spent up to 55 million euros for the former Udinese player.

Bruno Fernandes immediately showed off in the first two matches. The Portuguese midfielder is considered to have appeared neatly when Man United faced Wolverhampton Wanderers. Next, Fernandes packed assists as Man United defeated Chelsea with two goals without reply.

Jaap Stam, who saw Fernandes’ actions, gave an assessment. He was reminded of Paul Scholes’ actions when he saw Bruno Fernandes’ game.

“I think Fernandes is similar to Scholes. He always wants to appear to attack. He has the ability to score goals,” Stam said as reported by Metro.

“He can execute free kicks well. He has great bait accuracy. He always looks for an empty area and picks up the ball. He can influence the match,” he explained.

Stam added, Fernandes did not possess the same abilities as Scholes. However, there are several sides that make the new recruits similar to Paul Scholes.

“Indeed, the two players are not really the same. Scholes is a bit more aggressive when without the ball. However, in terms of football intelligence, Fernandes is similar to Scholes,” Stam stated.

Manchester United can spend more as there are several clauses in Bruno Fernandes’ contract. One of them is a bonus clause if Man United qualifies for the Champions League.
