This is the set of Fernandes's earlier time at Man United, and i have to say, back then he looked like their best signing in years. Fernandes fits into the team seamlessly, and straight away became arguably their best player. Fernandes is a very instinctive player, who could constantly creates danger out of nothing. And that's the right word to describe him, "danger". This level of relentlessnes in creating chances could only rivalled by one man in my opinion, namely Alexis Sanchez. They both have similar traits in their style of play, as they relied heavily in what they feels in the game.
There's another player on the other end of spectrum who has similar quality but use it in a different way. And it's Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne is also feel oriented player, but use it in a more measured way, more cultured manner. As for Fernandes, he just do it. No matter what the outcome will be, he just do it. He's a more opportunistic and brave creator. This is why he looks a bit of a hit and miss with his passing. Sometimes it looks great and accurate, but other times it looks ridiculously overhit and misplaced. But the ones who really found their way to the target, looks genius, otherworldly.
This is why Fernandes looks so fit with Man United. Player like him would fit in a structurally loose team, that doesn't emphasize a defined style or strategy. This would give him maximum freedom to operate. But in the other hand, there's a risk that the team would be over reliant on him. When Fernandes's going through a period of poor form, the team will also have a dip of performance.
