‘Fernandes even looks good when he loses the ball!’ – Solskjaer hails impact of Man Utd new boys in consistency bid

The Red Devils invested heavily in another creative influence when completing a €55 million (£47m/$60m) deal with Sporting in January.

Solskjaer had battled hard to get Fernandes on board, with a protracted saga dragging on longer than those at Old Trafford would have liked.
