Speaking to the club’s official website, Daniel James has heaped praise on Manchester United’s new signing Bruno Fernandes.
What did he say?
The Portugal international arrived in the final week of the January transfer window in a deal reportedly worth £47m.
Fernandes made his debut in the Premier League clash against Wolves at Old Trafford, and will surely play a big part for the Red Devils over the coming months and seasons – something James has admitted he is quite relishing.

He said: “Yeah he is settling in great. I know quite a few of the boys speak his language and he speaks great English as well. So I think as soon as he came in he put his stamp on the game and he showed what he is about in that last game, on his debut.
“He was great, with the balls he played in behind and, for me, if we can get that bond, especially playing it in behind, I think that will be great.”
Different dimension
With Fernandes’ creative abilities – he averaged 3.7 key passes per game in Liga NOS this season prior to his move to Old Trafford – players like James should be some of the main beneficiaries of that for United.

The Red Devils may finally have someone who can help unlock tight defences, and open them up with a cute pass over the top or between the lines. And with James’ natural pace, that could offer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side a different dimension to their attack.
As the Welshman alludes to, it’s a tantalising prospect both for the winger, and for the team.
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must end his misguided trust in this misfiring ace.
