Sir Alex Ferguson sends message to Fernandes after he reveals Man Utd regret

Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Bruno Fernandes’ remarkable impact at Manchester United and says he has brought a unique quality to the club.

The legendary United manager’s complimentary words come only days after Fernandes revealed it is his biggest regret that he never got to pick the manager’s brains.




Fernandes, who has scored 40 goals and registered 25 assists in 79 matches for the Red devils, was crowned the club’s Player of the Year this week.

And Ferguson believes the playmaker’s distribution in the final third is what the club have ‘really needed’ in recent years.

When asked about Fernandes’ impact at United, Ferguson told the BBC: ‘He’s been fantastic, the lad. ‘He’s scored some important goals and even when he’s taking his penalty kicks, he’s very confident about them.

‘And I can’t even think if a goalkeeper’s got anywhere near his penalty kicks. ‘So he’s calm, his shots from outside the box are always a threat and he’s got that thing United have really needed in the past few years, he’s got the ability to make a pass in the final third. It opens up defences and I think that’s important.’




Fernandes, meanwhile, conceded in a Q&A with United fans that he is keen to speak with Ferguson about improving his own game.

‘That is one of my biggest regrets in the club until now,’ said the midfielder. ‘I met him already but never had the chance to speak with him like I would like to do.




‘I think everyone who watched Manchester United in the past remembers Sir Alex. [That is true] for me, growing up and seeing the club, being a fan of the club and seeing the development of the team.

‘I would like to have a conversation with him and understand, from his point of view, what he thinks about me and what I can improve or still improve in my game to be better.’
