The Portuguese star really left quite a mark in Manchester United’s victory.

Despite winning the match 3-2, Manchester United nevertheless had a challenging 90 minutes against Nottingham Forest, a considerably lower-ranked team.

The Red Devils were awarded three points as a direct result of Bruno Fernandes’ penalty kick, making the Portuguese midfielder one of the game’s top performers.

Bruno not only scored the goal described above, but he also provided the assist that allowed Casemiro to tie the game. He also made a significant impact by making three passes that led to scoring opportunities.

Notably, if he was luckier, Bruno had one more assist in the 70th minute of the match.

After Joe Worrall’s red card, Man Utd was awarded a free kick from a very favorable distance and angle.

Obviously, Bruno could completely shoot straight towards Matt Turner’s goal in this situation, but he decided to “brain-hack” the opponent with a pass for Diogo Dalot.

However, not only the Nottingham players were fooled, but Dalot himself could not predict that Bruno would pass the ball to him.

So, despite his best efforts, the Portuguese star still could not control the ball.

After all, Man Utd had to miss a very favorable opportunity to take the lead, also because their captain was too creative.

Given that Dalot would undoubtedly cause trouble for Forest’s goal if he had the ball at his feet even though he was clearly not in an offside position, Bruno’s vision may even be complimented in this case. Nevertheless, the two Man Utd stars ultimately did not have the same “frequency”.
