Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has praised Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, calling him a 'terrific footballer' and a 'pleasure to watch'. Gerrard made the comments on Overlap Daily, highlighting Fernandes' talent despite Manchester United's struggles this season. Fernandes has been instrumental in Manchester United's past successes, but has had a relatively quiet campaign so far. He has scored four goals and registered one assist in 11 appearances.

Fernandes has been a key player for Manchester United since his move from Sporting CP, helping the team win domestic cup competitions and finishing third in the Premier League table last term. He broke the Premier League's assist record last season with 22 assists. However, his performances have been average this campaign, and Manchester United have struggled, currently sitting 16th in the table.

Manchester United's current struggles have led to speculation about their manager's future, particularly after Fernandes publicly criticized Michael Carrick's tactics following a 4-1 defeat to Como. Fernandes was subsequently left out of the team for the match against AFC Bournemouth. Despite this, Carrick is likely to continue as United boss, and the team faces Chelsea and AS Roma in the coming weeks.
