Fernandes has lost his magic touch - and United are paying the price
But the light has now gone out. He had one of his worst games in a United shirt in an unflattering 1-1 draw with Twente – the only pot four side United will face in
The 30-year-old has always been about moments, high risk-high reward passing. It is not uncommon for Fernandes to drift in games and consistently cede possession only to then turn a contest on its head with one pick out that only playmakers of a certain ilk can see.When it comes off it is spectacularly effective. During his time at United, no player in Europe’s top five leagues has created more chances than Fernandes, despite all the ineptitude around him at Old Trafford.
Instead, Fernandes hammered the ball high into the Stretford End, like he was kicking the ball out of touch to seal a rugby victory. What’s the opposite of guile and ingenuity? Well, this was it. Cue a social media meltdown, as supporters let their true feelings be known.Dropping him seems unthinkable.
