Manchester United's purchase of Bruno Fernandes in the winter transfer window was a shrewd piece of business, according to Luis Figo, who believes there is a shortage of high-quality players on offer in the current generation.
After one of the longest-running transfer sagas of the past year, United finally wrapped up the signing of Fernandes from Sporting for an initial €55 million (£46m/$60m) fee on January 30.
The 25-year-old has been tipped to inject a creative spark into the Red Devils' midfield which has been sorely lacking throughout the 2019-20 campaign, after racking up unprecedented numbers for goals and assists during his three-year spell in the Primeira Liga.
