Manchester United fans waited with bated breath during the transfer window, as the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon seemed to drag on forever.

Thankfully for them, all parties soon found a common ground, and his performances so far have shown that he was worth the wait.

The 25-year-old has impressed with his passing and technique, bringing a much needed urgency and drive to the Manchester United midfield. And he was once again impressive in the victory over Watford.

Having assisted Harry Maguire's goal against Chelsea last week, the Portuguese international opened his account for the Red Devils, winning and subsequently dispatching a uniquely taken penalty past Foster.

However, Fernandes was bought for his creativity. And throughout the match, he serenaded United fans with forward defence-splitting passes, one of which Martial failed to convert first time before improvising on the follow-up.

Fernandes was not to be denied an assist though. Greenwood thumped home his pass to bring his tally to one goal and two assists from three Premier League matches for Manchester United.

This meant that Fernandes had a hand in all three of Manchester United goals. Old Trafford rose in unison to chant his name when he was substituted, which was no less than he deserved for his five-star performance.
