Manchester United sent warning over Bruno Fernandes position

Former Sporting Lisbon boss Carlos Carvalhal has warned Manchester United that Bruno Fernandes shouldn't play in the No.10 playmaker role. United and Sporting Lisbon finally agreed on terms on a fee of £49million in the January transfer window. The 26-year-old scored 10 goals and created 10 assists in just 22 appearances for Sporting. “He (Fernandes) is not a Number 10," Carvalhal told Sky Sports. "He is a midfielder but he has developed that ability to break the line of the defence to score goals. “He shoots, he assists, the passes and the free-kicks. But he is not a 10, he is an 8. He is a box-to-box player who understands very well the game. He doesn't just play. He understands everything that happens around him."  Source: MEN Join us on Telegram!
