Bruno Fernandes moment showed Manchester United what they need to win titles again

His partnership with Paul Pogba is a mouthwatering one and the World Cup winner showed flashes of brilliance when he came off the bench. Using your bench Greenwood brought the energy and fearlessness of an 18-year-old to the attack and could have won the game late on with a low shot across goal, while Pogba looked in the mood to make up for lost time. His quick feet to win the penalty were mesmeric but it was a pass that almost set Marcus Rashford free shortly after that took the breath away. There could be more games that need influencing from the bench between now and the end of the season, so this double substitution was a good sign for Solskjaer and United. It was no surprise to see the academy graduate was the United player who set the tempo early on, dominating in the tackle and winning possession on a regular basis. 9 Earlier in 2020 United were linked with Harry Kane, when the Tottenham striker hinted that his time in north London could be ending if the trophies don't arrive soon. That United were the first club to be linked with Kane showed that there remains a feeling there is still a vacancy to be filled leading the line. Having done the hard work in controlling Fernandes' pass, he took too long to get his shot away and allowed Eric Dier to block, before testing Hugo Lloris with a better effort which his countryman saved well. But just before the season was suspended the winger was beginning to rediscover his best form, impressing against Manchester City and scoring in the rout of LASK Linz.
