"His skills are mainly technical and mental. He must have worked on his physical abilities, which were the only things below average," Mauro Borghetti, a scout who found Bruno Fernandes for Novara in 2012, told Football Italia.
"Not from an athletic point of view, he’s always had endurance and aerobic abilities. I speak of his structure. He turned 18 during the season he spent at Novara, he has now improved his physical structure.
"He has always raised the level in his career. Sincerely, what Bruno Fernandes has become today is a bit of a surprise to me.
"We understood that he was not a common footballer but here we are talking about one who plays in one of the most famous club in the world with results out of any kind of logic. He had the potential to do it, but to see what he’s become today is a bit of a surprise."
Clearly, Bruno has worked a lot to be able to compete at the highest level, and Man United certainly benefit from it. The 26-year-old is the top assist-maker in the Premier League since joining the Red Devils, as well as the second-best goalscorer.
