Paul Scholes names two reasons why Bruno Fernandes is better than he was

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is impressed by Bruno Fernandes' effect on the club and says the Portuguese midfielder is a better player than he was. The 26-year-old has become a key player at Old Trafford, since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon last January. He has been directly involved in 31 goals in only 28 Premier League appearances so far, while during United's latest Premier League 2 - 2 draw with Leicester City, he manages to score and provide an assist for his side. Only Liverpool could gain more points than the Red Devils, since Fernandes made his debut for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. “What he’s doing is phenomenal, really,” Scholes told United's Tunnel Insider show. “I think if you look, since he’s been (here), United would be top of the league if they won their game in hand, with more points than Liverpool, which is strange to think really because they’ve had such a bad start to the season. “Well, you thought it was a bad start to the season, but they’re still right in there and I think they can only get better. The numbers he’s produced are just ridiculous, let’s hope he carries on." “He’s better than me," ex-United man then added. "He’s different to me. He scores more goals than me, he creates more goals than me. “I’d like to play with him, probably behind him would be alright. But no, he’s been sensational, a big difference. “I think before he came to the team, United could hardly create a chance with some of the stuff they were playing, but now they look like they can score three, four or five goals every game.”
