The Manchester derby: A clash of two playmaking heavyweights

Bruno Fernandes, playing in his first Manchester derby, sets the ball down at the edge of the area and stares towards the melee of red and blue shirts in the box, scanning for a team-mate who could potentially nod in his imminent cross.

The midfielder steps up, a packed Old Trafford has a collective intake of breath, expectantly watching, waiting, hoping that a Manchester United head will make contact with the ball.

Instead, Bruno does what few other players in world football would have the audacity and composure to pull off. The Portuguese international casually scoops the ball to Anthony Martial, fooling around 75,000 inside the Theatre of Dreams, and 11 Manchester City men!
