Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes explained how impressed he’d been with Mason Mount’s performances with Chelsea this season.


Speaking to the official United magazine, Fernandes was listing potential players of the year from outside Old Trafford’s walls.

The Portuguese talisman, alongside fellow countryman Ruben Dias, are firm favourites to pick up this award.

Other high hitters like Harry Kane, Ilkay Gundogan, and Kevin De Bruyne are also in the running.

But Fernandes felt that Mount deserved recognition for his contribution towards Chelsea’s campaign.


He said: “For example, I really like Mason Mount – he’s been consistent from the beginning of the season but, if people will watch numbers, he’s not had so many goals as other players or assists as other players but, for me, as a performance he’s been really, really top.”

Penguin2:
So my kid bro who’s abroad just sent me 1 million naira to play Chelsea win for him against Manchester City in the Champions League but I’m thinking of not playing the game so that if Chelsea loses, the money becomes mine.

But the big question is what if Chelsea wins? The odd now is 3.75 and with 1m, the potential winning is 3.7m. What will I now tell him?

He wants to take his risk and I wanna take mine too.

What do you advise I do?

Ronaldo has played 3 seasons at Juventus with 3 different coaches. (Think about that)

When will you people accept that a man cannot do all the job?

Madrid helped Ronaldo by signing quality players to fill every position. He couldn't get the UCL until Madrid fortified all corners and it took about 4years for that to happen but y'all, his supporters claimed he helped Madrid to win the UCL, downgrading the efforts of other players most times.

Even before he won his first UCL with Madrid, Bale, Modric and co were signed.

Ronaldo is good but y'all that support him make him vulnerable to attacks like this.

Imagine one of you saying it was his goals that helped Juve, my question is, can Ronaldo win a ball at the back, pass to himself in the middle and score alone?

You fail to give credit to others when things go well but deflect the blames from him when things are going south.

If you score goals, you win matches but if you fail, you will be defeated just like juve yesterday and man city,..if all the players can contribute the way he did juve would have been singing by now..

I am stating a fact
And you are talking off point
Chelsea never had a team playing good football like this
Not even lampard and Terry them set

Roman Abrahmovic has craved good football
But here now we are talking of 21 22 24 year olds Playing against a Pep Guardiola team and pressing them and winning them consecutively

Most of you don't even understand the gravity of what's going on

Old Chelsea team would have gone defensive but here they take the game to City

That's scary

Lol.
Don’t let us pretend as if we didn’t know they played City’s team B both in the FA semis and today.
