Manchester United fans make same Bruno Fernandes point after team named to face Watford

Manchester United fans are delighted with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection to face Watford in the Premier League.

The United boss has made six changes to the side that drew against Club Brugge on Thursday with Eric Bailly dropping to the bench and Mason Greenwood starting. Luke Shaw replaces Brandon Williams in defence with Nemanja Matic partnering Fred in the middle.

Scott McTominay also makes his return from injury to be named on the substitutes bench while Odion Ighalo is forced to wait for his first United start since joining on loan in January.

Both Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard missed out on the 18 completely.

United fans are delighted with Solskjaer's team selection and are eager to see Bruno Fernandes perform with a front three of Greenwood, Anthony Martial and Daniel James ahead of him.

The Portuguese completely changed the game during his brief cameo against Brugge and supporters can't wait to see him in action at Old Trafford for the first time.

They believe his creative abilities can be the difference against the Hornets.

Here is what they had to say on social media:


He said: "It said everything about him that he played the full-half (vs Newcastle) with torn ligaments, with no ligament.

"He has recovered really quickly. He has been doing everything he can to get back. He looks stronger, fitter and it is about time. He wanted to play today, but we need to manage him properly as well."

Solskjaer is delighted to have McTominay back in the squad with the midfielder spending a significant spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury against Newcastle.
