Manchester United signing Bruno Fernandes has been likened to Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva by his former teammate Yannick Bolasie.
Bolasie played alongside Fernandes during his time at Sporting Lisbon, and he believes United have signed a real creative threat in the January transfer window.
Fernandes completed his move to United last month when he signed a five-and-a-half year contract with the option of an additional year.
The Portuguese midfielder impressed on his debut against Wolves and Bolasie believes Fernandes could prove to be similar to De Bruyne for United.
“Bruno has the lot to be honest,” Bolasie told The Mirror.
“I think he will cope fine with the expectations. When he was at Sporting he controlled all the matches.
“Everything Sporting did went through him. He can play with both feet and is not afraid to shoot with his left but his right foot is his main foot. He can see a pass and has good long-range passing, free-kicks and penalties.
“He is at his best getting on the half turn and making passes in between the lines. He likes giving passes and likes scoring, that is his game. He knows what he can do and is good at and can link up with the forward players really well.
“He has his own style because he has been in Italy before but has similarities to De Bruyne, Silva and Eriksen.”
