In his first start at the Old Trafford Bruno Fernandes delivered a dazzling performance. He was running the midfield and each one of his touches was top-notch and perfectly measured.

He inspired other players on the field to get the ball moving forward as well and his link-up play with the forwards, especially Mason Greenwood was eye-catching.

He very smartly won the penalty in the first half when he saw Foster coming off his line. He knew just what he had to do. After winning the penalty he stepped up and converted from the spot to score his maiden goal for the club and dealt a decisive blow to Watford's hope of getting something out of the game.

It was quite apparent the kind of positive impact he was having, as when Fernandes had started joining attacks and that is when United started playing well. He had a hand in all three of United's goals and even set up Greenwood's thumping left-footed effort 15 minutes from the final whistle.

His quality will be crucial for the club as they chase a top-four spot to gain Champions League qualification this term.
