Leicester City fullback Ricardo Pereira was confident Bruno Fernandes would be a success with Manchester United.

Pereira insists he's not surprised by the midfielder's impact since his January arrival from Sporting CP.

“Well. I was sure that Bruno would be very successful in the Premier League, but this way… I admit that I wasn't. It's impressive!" he said.

“We all know that Bruno Fernandes has an enormous quality, something he had already shown at Sporting and the national team.

“But it isn't easy to get on the middle of a train, especially if that train is in a league like the Premier League and in a club like Manchester United.

“Normally, a player who arrives at the Premier League takes, on average, a season to adapt. Bruno Fernandes completed this whole process in just one week!

“And I'm not just talking about how he, individually, showed himself: for me, the difference is in the way the entire Man United team has improved with his arrival.

“He was the catalyst for this new Man United. I'm happy for him and I hope the good moment continues, except against Leicester [laughs]. It doesn't have to be all games, does it?"
