Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has lauded teammates Matheus Cunha and Leny Yoro for their impact in the side's win over Liverpool on Sunday, October 19.

Matheus Cunha "has got the aura of Eric Cantona," says former Premier League defender Stephen Warnock. "He has got the weight of the shirt and he loves it," said Warnock on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club

Nani has claimed that Manchester United duo Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha need time to adjust to the club, following on from their big-money transfers over the summer. The pair joined from Brentford and Wolves, respectively, as the Red Devils looked to improve upon their attacking options.

A £60 million-plus Manchester United signing from Brazil would normally be guaranteed a place in the starting line-up in the biggest game of the season at Liverpool.

He combined excellently with substitues Sesko and Patrick Dorgu, keeping United high up the pitch and away from Senne Lammens' goal as much as possible.
