Karagumruk goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano says he isn't surprised by Bruno Fernandes' success with Manchester United.

Viviano played with Fernandes at Sampdoria and Sporting CP.

He recalled to TMW: "I was very supportive when he arrived in Genoa.

"Bruno always had everything, but in Italy he has evolved a lot in terms of intensity and tactical issues. His explosion was not a surprise, because he plays with his right foot, with left, he has strength and an inexhaustible lung.

"He is also a leader and United needed this."
