When Bruno Fernandes slipped in Alejandro Garnacho the youngster failed to beat an advancing Peacock-Farrell but United were coming to life.

It took a fee of £65 million to prize him away, but it has been money well spent. The ex-Real Madrid man clearly wants to be at the club and help take Manchester United forward, which is reflected in his performances on a weekly basis.
