BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) - Bruno Fernandes has made a telling impact on Manchester United since he joined from Sporting Lisbon in January and his link-up play with Paul Pogba in midfield had them firing on all cylinders against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday.
The Portugal playmaker's crisp one-touch passing and eye for goal seem to have transformed United's engine room, where Pogba had often flattered to deceive.
Fernandes believes United can squeeze into the league's top four, with fourth-placed Chelsea two points ahead of them with a game in hand, and was quick to credit his team mates for flourishing under Solskjaer. "I don't want to talk too much about me and Paul Pogba, we are happy to play together but I am happy to play with everyone. We can combine together, we have qualities, but we know that we have team mates who can do well.
With Pogba bossing the centre of midfield, 18-year-old Mason Greenwood impressed again with a mature performance, having opened the scoring with a solo effort before he fed Fernandez with a delightful cross for United's third goal.
