Bruno Fernandes has admitted playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani in Manchester United's front three against Tottenham allowed him to play with instinct.
The trio lined up in a United starting 11 for the first time in the 3-0 win over Spurs, with all three playing parts in United's opening two goals. Marcus Rashford came off the bench to score a third late on.
And United fans are now excited how Fernandes could dovetail with the two veteran forwards in the future.
So how does the Portuguese sensation see that Ronaldo and Cavani link-up working moving forward?
On the Cavani goal which made it 2-0, Fernandes told the MUFC website : "As I have said before, the belief with everything was perfect. In that moment, I trusted I could take the ball from the defender, I went with everything and recovered the ball and, after, I tried to pass the ball to Cristiano.
"It was a great pass from him and an amazing finish from Edi and we are really happy for Edi.
"He deserved his goal, he's one of those players who gives everything on the pitch every time he plays, he's always at the top level and I'm really happy for him."
On his assist for Ronaldo, the Portuguese added: "The ball is good, but obviously that finish was perfect.
"It was really difficult to finish on the first touch, with not much space to hit the target in the way he did.

"It's always nice to see someone score and, obviously, I was really happy for my pass. But more happy for the goal because if the pass goes through and the striker doesn't score, then it will never be a good pass! So I'm really happy that he scored and we won the game, that's the most important thing."
