🚨🗣️ Kevin De Bruyne on Bruno Fernandes equalling his Premier League assist record:
“When you reach 20 assists in the Premier League, it means you’ve done something truly special because consistency at that level is extremely difficult. I know how hard it is, Thierry Henry knows how hard it is, and now Bruno Fernandes knows it too.
What impresses me most about Bruno is his courage on the ball. He always tries to create something, always looks for the dangerous pass, even when the risk is high. Not every player has that mentality. Some prefer safe football, but Bruno plays to change games.
To match this record while carrying so much responsibility for Manchester United says a lot about his character and quality. And honestly, if he breaks the record in the next game, then he fully deserves all the praise that comes with it. Records are made to inspire the next great player to go even further.”
🚨 Jamie Carragher on the midfield battle between Kobbie Mainoo and Elliot Anderson as Manchester United lead Nottingham Forest 1-0 at half time:
“That first half was a proper midfield battle between two young players with completely different styles.”
“Kobbie Mainoo plays with calmness and composure. Nothing looks rushed with him. He always seems to have an extra second on the ball.”
“Elliot Anderson, on the other hand, brings aggression, intensity and energy. He wants to drive forward and make things happen quickly.”
“But if I’m being honest, Mainoo looked like the more complete midfielder in that first half.”
“The way he controls tempo for someone his age is very impressive. He doesn’t panic under pressure and he keeps Manchester United ticking.”
“You can already see players trusting him to take responsibility in big moments.”
“Anderson has had good moments physically and worked hard, but Mainoo’s intelligence on the ball is what stood out most for me.”
“That’s the type of midfielder Manchester United can build around for the next 10 years.”
