'You want that X factor' - Solskjaer praise for risk taker Fernandes

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer paid tribute to Bruno Fernandes' ability to change games for Manchester United, even if the midfielder's exuberance sometimes frustrates his manager.

Fernandes was once again pivotal for United on Saturday as they drew 2-2 at Leicester City, the Portugal international setting up Marcus Rashford for the opener and then scoring the visitors' second.

In finding the net, Fernandes became the first Portuguese player to score 10 goals in a single Premier League season since Cristiano Ronaldo did so for the Red Devils in 2008-09.
